This Week: Self Control
This coming week's character strength will be "Self-Control." Within this strength our goal is to know that you can control your emotions and behaviors. Stop, think, and make the right choice!
Check out the following links for talking points and a video you can use with your children at home:

BLESSINGS IN A BACKPACK
At this time, there is not adequate funding to continue Blessings in a Backpack (non perishable goods in backpacks on Fridays) beyond the end of the month. We thank the Huron Valley Optimist Club for their support of our students for this long. Please reach out if your family is struggling with food insecurity and we will provide resources.
