Week of 10.29.18
Hello Brave Community!
Happy Monday Evening! How about this weather! After over a week of rain and flooding in
some areas, we now have the most amazing weather. I hope that you take the opportunity to enjoy
it. We will make sure that each of our BRAVE
students get a well-deserved break from the amazing teaching and learning
classroom environment to enjoy the weather during their school day with their
friends!
As a Leader in Me campus, we highlight one of the Seven
Habits of Highly Effective People each week. Our habit of the week this week is Habit 6: Synergize! We teach our students the value of working
together with others. We provide
opportunities for teamwork among students because we know that they can get more
done with a group than working alone.
Word of the Week
(WOW):
This week’s word is “creativity”. It is a noun that means the ability to make
something new. Partner with us in
focusing on our campus WOW. Ask your
student to use the word in a sentence or perhaps you could be very intentional
in your use of our word. Thanks for your
participation!
