I am so excited to finish out the year studying and practicing gratitude with our amazing scholars. The way we act matters. When we approach the world with kindness, and gratitude, we can change it for the better.
Every kid can make a difference. Take a look at how these kids have turned a problem into a solution!

Can you cross the hot lava without stepping off the polyspots? Can you do it without talking? Check out our growth mindsets at work!
Students have practiced for weeks identifying the difference between a fixed and growth mindset. They have learned how using a growth mindset can be the secret to success, and have studied themselves and their multiple intelligences. We practiced several challenges that require a growth mindset, and the positive self talk (" I can do this!" "I got this!" "Mistakes help me improve." "When I fail I learn!")
we can use when things are difficult for us. Check out these scholars staying positive and using their creative juices to create a house out of marshmallows and toothpicks.

Ask your child how they use a growth mindset every day!

Knowing your purpose helps you to achieve a goal. All of our scholars have learned that the first step to reaching our purpose in life, whatever we desire that to be, is to graduate from high school.
