Dear Falcon Families,
Thank you for supporting Fancher Creek in our Jog-a-thon. Kids had a blast and we exceeded our $10,000 goal by over $3,000! Your generosity is much appreciated and we will use the funds to put right back into purchasing items for your children.
This week is Mental Health Awareness week. Mental Health Awareness Week was established in the U.S. in 1990 recognition of efforts by the National Alliance on Mental Illness to educate and increase awareness about mental illness. It takes place every year during the first full week of October. Please visit our CUSD website for mental health resources: https://www.cusd.com/Downloads/Understanding%20Behavioral%20Health%20in%20Children3.pdf. Our school psychologist, Mr. Chavez, also has resources available on his website: https://sites.google.com/view/strong-kids/parent-resources
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Open-Mindedness. Open-mindedness means you like to consider new ideas and try new things. You examine things from all sides and don’t jump to conclusions.
Open-mindedness is the willingness to actively search for evidence that goes against one’s favored opinions, plans, or goals. Open-minded individuals are able to weigh all evidence fairly, when it is available. They see the other side and fight the tendency to have a bias for their own views. And, rather than favoring the socially dominant views, they give attention to those that are less dominant.
Open-minded individuals are often good listeners and called upon to provide a balanced viewpoint. Both listening and the ability to deliver reasonable and practical advice are marks of good friends and confidantes. This strength helps individuals form meaningful and lasting relationships.
To practice and encourage the character strength of open-mindedness with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families (password: P2), where together you will watch a video, read a quote, and talk about the answers to three questions.
Have a wonderful week!
