Number 6

Happy Friday everyone!

A major part in being committed to excellence is operating with a growth mindset and being mentally tough enough to handle setbacks, challenges, and adversity.  A strong and positive mentality takes effort to maintain.  I came across a post on social media that immediately caught my attention because I see these same things happen frequently throughout our schools.  The post was titled Six Things Mentally Strong People Do:

  1. They move on.  They don't waste time feeling sorry for themselves.
  2. They embrace change.  They welcome challenges.  
  3. They stay happy.  They don't waste energy on things they can't control.  
  4. They are kind, fair, and unafraid to speak up.  
  5. They are willing to take calculated risks.
  6. They celebrate other people's success.  They don't resent that success.

I appreciate and admire the mental strength we demonstrate as a school and community.  A strength that continues to fuel our continuous improvement and helps us hold fast to our commitment to excellence.  

Happy Friday!
