King PRIDE--it shows!

Over the past few weeks, teachers and I have taken note of many, many positive events, routines and small acts of kindness taking place each day at MLK. Some examples:

• Helping someone who fell on the playground;
• Talking about the Lifeskills at home;
  
• Comforting a new student who felt anxious the first time she rode the bus home;
• Telling someone they did a great job;
• Saying "thank you" to the teacher for holding open the door;
  
• Inviting people to play who are by themselves;
  
• Playing 4-square carefully and safely when less-experienced players are on the court;
  
• Discussing King PRIDE in class and writing about it;
  
• Cheering someone up who is feeling down.

These are all wonderful examples! I really appreciate everyone's hard work to make sure we all know how to treat each other during the school day. I hope parents will also continue to talk about King PRIDE at home and praise your children when appropriate. :-)
