All things E.Q.
Our motto this past week has been...
My day depends on me.
The way we perceive the world around us and the attitude we bring to our daily tasks can drastically change how we experience our day.
Let's teach students how to make the most of their day!
“We are not given a good life or a bad life. We are given a life.
It is up to us to make it good or bad.”
