Health and Safety Spotlight

Spring Break is all about fun! When you are out at a park or public place be aware of your surroundings. Human trafficking continues to be an ongoing problem around the world. Use the buddy system when going to public restrooms or big events, keep emergency contacts updated in your cell phone, and an eye on your littlest family members always!

Character Development Focus

March is about forgiveness! Forgiveness means many things like letting go of resentments, finding peace in a situation out of your control, or meanding relationships. In our character elssons this month we will talk about forgiveness can mean deciding someone who has wronged you doesn’t have to pay. Often student conflicts arise from resentment or grudges being heald for past mistakes. This month talk to your student about how to forgive others. 

The gecko is paried with forgiveness because even after a bad experience it bounces back! The color Mint Green i paired with forgiveness because as a décor color, it offers calm and quiet with a connection to nature and a feeling of lightness, as well as balance. Like other light green colors, mint suggests tranquility.
