Positively Our
Kids
During the month of November, we learned about the Positivity Project Character Strengths of bravery, gratitude, and humility/modesty. We are proud to introduce to you many students that excel in demonstrating some of these positive traits:
 |
| Bravery |
A person who demonstrates bravery
is defined as someone who acts with mental, moral, or physical strength even
when they know things are difficult or scary.
A person who demonstrates gratitude
is aware and thankful of good things that happen.
 |
| Graditude |
 |
| Humility and Modesty |
And a person who demonstrates humility/modesty does
not seek the spotlight. He or she lets
their actions speak for themselves.
For the month of December we are learning about the
character strengths of kindness
and self-control. Our OR families are demonstrating kindness by
giving generously to others and helping out. We are enjoying, and learning
from, doing good deeds for other people.
Thank you all for your gifts donations, and to our fifth graders for
wrapping the gifts. Thank you also for
contributing canned goods for the Salvation Army local food drive. This food drive is active until Friday, so
feel free to send in any non-perishable canned or boxed food with your child.
Jump to It!
We were impressed last week by our Jump Rope Club’s display of their jumping talents at our annual jump rope assembly. Check it out:

Y-Ties
Thank you to our generous PTA for purchasing a Positivity Project T-shirt for every student in the school! We wear them to our assemblies, and everyone feels like a part of the OR TEAM! In support of our PTA and the many functions provided to our students, we are holding a mini-fund raiser of Y-Ties Shoe Laces. They come in many different colors and are still available through the 15th. If you are here for parent conferences on the 14th and 15th and would like to purchase some Y-Ties, feel free to stop and see Mr. Lane in the gym.
