Monday Mission
Monday Mission: It's Mantra Monday - Share/Post your mantra or affirmation - This is a saying, quote, or life affirming anecdote that means something special to you or encourages you. You can post it in your locker, your car, your screen saver, anywhere that you might see it so that it will help motivate and encourage you. My own personal mantra these days is "Choose Joy"! It reminds that everyday I have a choice. I can't let things that are out of my control steal my joy. I choose joy! I can't wait to hear your mantras or affirmations this week! Share them with me when you see me or share them by clicking this link! #MissionMonday
Update on Monday Mission from Last Week of School
Update on last week's mission: The mission revolved around how everyone needs to hear a little good news every now and then.
