Principal’s Notes
June Messages
Peace Message: Courage
Brain Message: I Got This!
This month, we will review our lessons of the year, about peace and growth mindset. Students will learn that it takes courage to have a growth mindset. It takes courage to try new and challenging things, to take risks in our learning, and to be willing to fail. It takes courage to struggle and to stay in the struggle, until we reach success. And, it takes courage to admit our mistakes and learn from them. Study after study on grit and growth mindset have concluded that teaching students these traits, and praising them for their hard work and perseverance, rather than the finished product, builds resilience and profoundly impacts achievement. When students understand that struggle, mistakes, challenges and failure are the fabric of learning and growing their brains...they got this!
Suggested Summer Reading for Parents/Guardians:
The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed, by Jessica Lahey.
May you and your family have a safe, relaxing and healthy summer. Thank you for sharing your children with us!
