Principal's Update | October 11, 2020

Sea Kings Families,

In an effort to keep up on recent trends and information on our current state of events, I came across articles detailing the term, "Toxic Positivity",  and while this concept appeals to the snarky and sarcastic side of me, I will continue to make a case for positivity over everything. Not to say that we should ignore negative situations and challenges, but rather, try to keep a lens of positivity and perspective through adversity- knowing from prior experience that things generally work out.

There are positives in fighting for change regardless of the outcome. With so much change happening in our world today, it is easy to fall into pessimism- but I ask you.. “Is there really such a thing as bad pizza?"

We will participate in the Great California Shake Out on Thursday, 10/15 at 10:15am. 

Please be sure to review the News & Announcements Section below for detailed information regarding school updates.

GRATITUDE CORNER

“Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful
things humans can do for each other.”

Randy Pausch

 
Showing gratitude improves your overall mental health and mood. People who regularly express gratitude for the positive things in their life are shown to be happier overall, leading to lower rates of stress and depression. Showing gratitude can make you more optimistic, and celebrating more of what we are doing right, will help all of us move forward stronger.
