Striving to be better today than yesterday!
CKH Connection - Affirmations
Affirmations are statements that can serve as inspirations as well as simple reminders. It may seem like an easy thing to do as it is something that we desire to share with others but for many it is awkward, they don't know what to say or just forget to share. Who doesn't feel touched when someone shows their appreciation or recognizes you!
Give affirmations a try with your friends, family, or colleagues. Here are a few ways to get you started!
1. You've made me a better person. (Who has helped you on your personal journey?)
2. I've looked up to you. (Who is someone you admire?)
3. Thanks for being there for me. (Who is there for you no matter what?)
4. I'm so proud of you. (Who have you seen overcome a difficult situation?)
5. I love spending time with you. (Who do you have the most fun with?)
6. You're so good at that. (Everyone is good at something.)
7. That's my favorite thing about you.(Someone who add value to you or the people around them.)
8. You amaze me. (There is nothing more honoring and humbling to amaze a fellow friend.)
9. You're the only person I can talk to. (Who is your special person? Let them know how meaningful your friendship is.)
10. I love you. (Don't let someone you love go without knowing it.)
Is Social Media and Cell Phone Use with Your Student Raising Concern?
While we work to gather experts and beneficial information, check out the links below of some of the top monitoring apps (some free, some with subscriptions) for Android and iOS. You can never be too safe these days and we want everyone to have the information to help keep our students safe!

Speaking of Cell Phones...SMS Families we could use some help!
So where could we use the help? Support us by reminding students of the policy and that instructional time is a time to focus on learning. We appreciate your support and hope that by working together we can continue to have the privilege of using cell phones at school.
