Halloween Haunt Update From Our Booster Club President, Jennifer Novak

A great big thank you to all of the parents who volunteered and/or had their kids volunteer.  We had really great feedback about how well everything went and it is only because so many people help out.  Special thanks to Donna Epstein, Erica Mangham, Georgina McGovern, Michelle Jongkind, and Ray Roostaeyan.  Thanks also to our sponsors: the Accardo Family, the Bengston Family, the Van Scoyoc Family, the Yeh Family, and the Rioux Family.  We hope everyone had fun!!!

If you took pictures at the event, there is a feature on Member Planet that allows us to upload and post  we would love to see them!

Character Counts Pillar For The Month: Caring.

 
The Character Counts Coalition uses the color red to symbolize the pillar of Caring. 
This month our students will be focusing on the pillar of Caring.  There are two main ideas that apply to the pillar of caring.

• Concern for others: Show compassion and empathy. Be kind, loving and considerate in your actions. Be grateful for the things people do for you. Forgive the shortcomings of others. Don’t be mean or cruel to others. Be sensitive of other's feelings. 
• Compassion: Children can learn that people should be considerate and caring. Instead of ignoring hurt, confusion, anger and sadness they can learn that people should reach out to one another. As Plato quoted “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle!” we can never tell what difficulties another person is facing, and your kind word or action might make all the difference.
