November News

This November has been quite a month!!!  Nothing like our typical Novembers... with leftover Halloween candy, thoughts of harvest and Thanksgiving.. 

This year we've already had a hurricane, a snowstorm, dark- cold nights, living in the dark!  It has been quite an adventure for us all.  Thank goodness our school and friends have weathered our storms and things are getting back to "normal". 

Remembering our CORRECT values helps us through difficult times such as the ones we have learned to live with this November.

We are reminded about COURAGE from the examples shown to us by the rescue workers, policemen, firefighters, and those that have been working day and night to restore our power.

We should think about OPTIMISM knowing that with hard work, with neighbors and communities working together, things will get back to normal.

We need to RESPECT others and help them through troubled times.

We should show RESPONSIBILITY in helping at home and doing our homework.  It is important that we work together.

EMPATHY is an important word for this November.  Be thankful that we have a warm, clean school where we can learn.  Think about others in our state that have been unable to attend school due to the storm.  It is hard for us to imagine how difficult it is.  Consider a friend or classmate who may still be without power and offer a kind word.

We also can't forget that in the middle of our east coast difficulties we did have a presidential election where we watched the adults around us exercise their right to vote.  We watched good CITIZENSHIP in action as people were forced to take extraordinary efforts to be able to vote this year.

We need to show TRUSTWORTHINESS that we can be counted on to do whats right during good times and trying times.

Thinking CORRECT sure does help get us through and help us to be the best we can be.
