Happy Friday!
Happy Friday~
Each year, thousands of schools and youth organizations nationwide participate in Start With Hello Week, a national call-to-action week dedicated to making new social connections and creating a sense of belonging among youth. As someone who cares deeply about children, you may know social isolation is a very real epidemic. It can cause kids to pull away and, in serious situations, even hurt themselves or others. With activities and curricula available for all ages, students are empowered to end social isolation in three easy steps.
On Monday, we will have a Start with Hello Week kick Off Assembly. Please ask about what an "Upstander" is and how they can be a leader in helping everyone feel that they belong at Las Positas.
This month we continue to focus on the IB Learner Profile "Communicator"
The IB Learner profile aims to develop students who are communicators. Students who are communicators understand and express ideas and information confidently and creatively in more than one language and in a variety of modes of communication. They work effectively and willingly in collaboration with others.
Have a great weekend ~

"During National Hispanic Heritage Month, from September 15 ā October 15, the U.S. government celebrates the countless contributions of more than 60 million Hispanic Americans, Latinos, Latinas, and Latinx-identifying people to our culture and society. Hispanic Americans are the largest minority group in the United States today, and generations of Hispanic Americans have consistently helped make our country strong and prosperous. They contribute to our Nation beyond description. Hispanic Americans embody the best of our American values, including commitment to faith, family, and country. The Hispanic-American community has left an indelible mark on our government, culture, and economy." (US Dept of State)
