Upcoming Dates to Add to YOUR Calendar!
November Mindset- Attitude of Gratitude- This unit teaches us the importance of seeking the positives from every experience and being thankful for all that we have. Through this mindset, all will learn that we can use the positives or the negatives of our lives as the foundation on which to build. Choose the positives, and we are on our way toward extraordinary success; choose the negatives, and we embark on path toward disappointment, resentment, and suffering. In these lessons, we guide students to focus on all the things they have, leaving no time to be distracted by what they don’t.
