"Unlock the Treasure in Every Child" - March 11, 2019
Positivity Project - Love of Learning
Our focus this week will be on the character strength Love of Learning.
Those with a love of learning are intrinsically motivated and engaged in a topic regardless of achieving an external standard. They enjoy learning simply for the sake of learning. They don’t need a prize or a high grade as a reward. Their reward is the process of doing the work and improving.
The parent virtue for the Love of Learning is Wisdom and Knowledge. Strengths of wisdom and knowledge are cognitive strengths related to the acquisition and use of information. Strengths comprised in this virtue are creativity, curiosity, open-mindedness, love of learning and perspective
Please use these quotes, video links, and character card to host conversations with your child about the character strength.
"Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow." ~Anthony J. D'Angelo
"Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere." ~Chinese Proverb

Thank you!
PTA Membership From Our PTA President!
Congratulations! As a result of your membership in our ever growing PTA, we recently received the Gold Key Award from the North Carolina PTA. The award is presented to Blue Key recipients who send 25 additional PTA member dues to the State Office by January 15, 2019.
As your PTA President, I can't say "thank you" enough for your membership and encourage you to continue throughout the remainder of the school year to tell others about your membership and ask them to join as well. Membership strengthens our collective voice for our Buckhorn Creek community.
Together we will continue to make a difference in the lives of our children.
Buccaneer Bash!
Most of the event is FREE....but we will need your help in order for it to be successful!
Our Buccaneer Bash will be held on Friday, April 5th from 5-8pm.
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
Come enjoy a great time with fellow Buccaneers and their families.
