To celebrate National School Counseling Week next week (February 5th-9th) – which falls only one week before Random Acts of Kindness Week – we are going to focus on the character traits of Kindness and Acceptance.
Please join us in a Spirit Week by doing the following:
Monday - Orange You Glad?
Orange you glad you go to our school? Celebrate by wearing orange.
Tuesday - Hats Off to You
Wear your favorite hat to school. Tip for Teachers: Give each student an opportunity to saw "My Hat's off to ________ because _________________.” Encourage giving compliments and encouragement to one another.
Wednesday - Warm & Fuzzy Notes
Wear your most comfortable fleece or sweatshirt. Tip for Teachers: Send warm and fuzzy notes to coworkers and help students to make cards to give friends, parents, and teachers to tell them how much they are appreciated. Parents: leave a note for your child on their pillow at home.
Thursday - We Are All Different
In honor of the Native American proverb "To know the heart and mind of a person, you must walk a mile in his/her moccasins," wear different or crazy socks. Tip for Teachers: Guide your class in discussion of the differences you see. Discuss the concepts of diversity and empathy.
Friday - We Love Learning
Students: Wear your favorite Pinebrook gear or college shirt; Teachers/Staff: wear your college shirt or colors. Tip for Teachers: Share with your students your favorite college experience. Paint the picture of why college is an experience for which to strive.
