Thank you to all the families who have donated to our food drive thus far. We have made progress towards our goal of 10,000 items, but we are not quite there. With that being said, and the innate desire to reach our goal, we are extended the food drive through Tuesday, November 6.

The Positivity Project
Next week we will explore the character strength of bravery. Co-founder of The Positivity Project, Jeff Bryan, tells us that "bravery refers to voluntary (not coerced) action in the face of a dangerous circumstance. This strength involves judgment; the brave person must have an understanding of the risks and consequences involved in acting. According to Socrates and Plato, forethought separates acts of valor from acts of rashness. This means that bravery isn’t simply fearlessness, but instead the overcoming of fear."
The weeks of November 12 and 19 we will practice the act of gratitude.
