Positivity Project - Forgiveness
Those who demonstrate forgiveness have the ability to move forward after someone has hurt them. Forgiveness is often rooted in the idea that all people are valuable and worthy of a second chance. Many who forgive have the ability to consider things from another’s perspective.
Forgiveness does not mean rolling over and allowing yourself to be harmed. It does not mean that you forget the transgression. By forgiving someone, you don’t have to say that what he/she did was okay. And, forgiveness is not contingent on the other person apologizing.
Knock your socks off . . . !
to support World Down Syndrome Awareness Day. On Thursday, 3-21 students are encouraged to wear crazy socks to show support for Down Syndrome (DS). The You Before Me Club is sponsoring a fund raiser to support DS and Lake Orion's Special Olympic program. We are asking students to donate a minimum of 21 cents to this cause. The number 21 is significant as DS people have an extra 21st chromosome. Down Syndrome is the most common chromosomal disorder in the United States and each year 6,000 babies are born with DS.

Tired of Lake George Road?
Trust me, we are too! Our cars need to be serviced more than they should be. The road was worse than ever this week!
If you are indeed tired of the treacherous potholes, below is a link that you can report to the Oakland County Road Commission. I am sure they would love to hear from all of us :).
