Character Counts! Pillar of the Month: CARING Be yourself, everyone else is taken! It is important that we know and care about ourselves before we can have mature, connected relationships with others. Many times, teenagers try to be like others rather than trying to figure out who they really are. Don’t think you know who you are yet? Try this: Write down 3 lists of words that describe who you are. Make a column of Nouns (sister/brother, son/daughter), Descriptive Words (happy, tall, funny) and Verbs (plays games, likes routine, swims). You probably know more about yourself than you thought! Look at your list and stay true to that person!! Wilson, 2015

ART STUDENTS! Mrs. Baun would like you to pick up your art projects on display in the LRC to make room for your Large Scale Sculptures. Anything left after next Friday, November 20th, will be recycled!
