Only 3 weeks of school until we enjoy a Winter Break! I know this is an exciting time of year for so many families. I hope it is a special time for your family as well.
Last week, I met with Mr. Propst and Mrs. Smith and we planned some exciting events for the winter and spring. It is such a wonderful time to be at the Creek!
Have a great week!

The Positivity Project (P2): Kindness
This week in P2, students will be learning about kindness.
What it Means
You are generous to others and you are never too busy to help out. You enjoy doing good deeds for other people.
Why It Matters
For individuals, kindness is correlated with desirable developmental outcomes. It is related to other-oriented emotions, like empathy (the ability to experience the
emotional state of another person) and sympathy (the tender emotion of concern for another’s difficulty).
On a group level, kindness is very important. In addition to empathy and sympathy, the character strength of kindness is indicative of an individual’s moral reasoning capacity and level of social responsibility.
