"Unlock the Treasure in Every Child" - April 1, 2019
Positivity Project - Humor
Our focus this week will be on the character strength of Humor.
Humor is a sense of playfulness and lightness. It is a way of looking at and describing the world that brings laughter to people. A person with the strength of humor is skilled at seeing at the funny side of things, bringing smiles and laughter to others, and identifying and communicating the absurdities in life. People with this strength don’t specifically need to be joke tellers, although many are.
The parent virtue for the Humor is Transcendence. These strengths allow people to rise above their troubles and find meaning in the larger universe. Strengths of transcendence are appreciation of beauty and excellence, connection/purpose, gratitude, hope/optimism, and humor.
Please use these quotes, video links, and character card to host conversations with your child about the character strength.
"A day without laughter is a day wasted." ~Charlie Chaplin
"I love making people laugh. And I love laughing." ~Kevin Hart

What is it? Well think of it like a traditional school carnival filled with Inflatables, rock climbing wall, bingo, face painting, food trucks, games, DJ, art show, choral performance, and more!
Buccaneers will play games to earn FREE tickets for activities, popcorn, and cotton candy.
Who can attend? Buccaneers of all ages
There will also be Food Trucks (The only thing that costs $$$- otherwise everything else is FREE!!!) - Party in a Pita, Wood Fired Pizza and BBQ, and Mr. Softee
