Throughout the month, our students have been discussing what optimism means to them in the classrooms and with their friends in the school yard. Optimism can be defined as follows:

INTEGRITY
PERSEVERANCE
INTEGRITY
HONESTY
OPTIMISM
We thank you for your partnership in reminding our students what it takes to have good character and how important it is for our children to apply such character traits in how they interact with each other and in the way they see themselves. Together, we can persevere to nurture responsible citizens of the world who demonstrate empathy, kindness and caring for all living things.
