Dear CCSD Families,
We are excited to welcome our students and staff back tomorrow, Monday, January 6, 2025! This week, our school community will focus on the character strength of Optimism. Optimism means that you expect the best from the future and work to achieve it.
Optimistic people have hope and confidence about the future. They believe good things will come and stay positive even when faced with challenges. They turn obstacles into steps toward their goals.
Optimism isn't just seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. It's about focusing on the good in any situation, staying open to opportunities, and managing emotions. Optimistic people make great leaders and can inspire others with their positive outlook and ability to find meaning in difficult times.
To practice and encourage the character strength of optimism at home, please visit The Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families: https://posproject.org/p2-for-families/ where you can watch a video and continue the discussions on optimism at home. We encourage you to ask your students about the lessons and activities shared throughout this week!
We wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope for a year filled with optimism!
