Principal's Corner  
The Energy Bus
Here is some information on the second rule in the story of The Energy Bus for Kids:

Rule #2: Fuel Your Ride with Positive Energy
In the story, the bus driver, Joy, teaches the students that positive energy is “…the positive thoughts and emotions you think and feel and share with others…” 

She further instructs them that fueling up with positive energy helps children “overcome challenges and achieve (their) goals.” 

We are working to encourage our students to think and act positively. You can help out at home by reinforcing positive energy found in your children’s “smiles, laughter, gratitude, trust, faith, joy” and helping them to “choose to be positive instead of negative.” 

I would love to hear about examples you see of your child displaying positive energy.
