• Happy November Families! Our Mindset of the Month is Attitude of Gratitude! This Mindset teaches us the importance of seeking the positives from every experience and being thankful for all that we have. Through this mindset, we learn that we can use the positives or the negatives of our lives as the foundation on which to build. Choose the positives, and we are on our way toward extraordinary success; choose the negatives, and we embark on path toward disappointment. This Mindset guides students to focus on all the things they have, leaving no time to be distracted by what they don’t. Here is an at-home activity your family can complete to grow your gratitude!
