A word from the principals!

Greetings NAMily!


We can't believe that October is behind us and November is here. We are operating with a sense of urgency to ensure that our student NAMily is growing academically and socially. November also brings an opportunity for you to to reinforce the monthly virtue of Thankfulness. As an ADMIN Team, we are so grateful for each of you!


See you soon!

November Virtue of the Month

THANKFULNESS

DEFINITION: Thankfulness is being grateful for what you have. It is an attitude of gratitude for learning, loving, and being. It is appreciating the little things which happen around you and within you every day. It is having a sense of wonder about the beauty of this world. It is being aware of the gifts in your life.

Why Practice It?

Thankfulness brings contentment. It helps you find the good things in whatever happens. Without Thankfulness people can become negative. They wish things were different. They whine and complain when they don’t have everything their own way. They envy other people. With thankfulness, we keep a positive outlook. We can see the good in our lives and in whatever happens.


How Do You Practice It?

Being thankful is appreciating the things you have and the people you care about. Show your appreciation when someone does something kind for you. Focus on the good things about your life and count your blessings often. Even when things go wrong, you can be thankful if you find the lessons to be learned. Let others give to you. Expect The best in every situation.


What would Thankfulness look like if…

  • You feel sad and defeated because of your problems?

  • You wish you were more like a popular person you know?

  • You go for a walk in a place of beauty?

  • Your mother does something kind for you?

  • You worry that you don’t have the right clothes?

  • You are thinking about your day?


Signs of Success

Congratulations! You are practicing Thankfulness when you…

  • Have an attitude of gratitude

  • Are receptive to gifts

  • Appreciate your own abilities instead of envying others

  • See the difficulties of life as opportunities to learn

  • Appreciate the beauty of this world

  • Count your blessings every day


Affirmation

I am thankful for the many gifts within me and around me today. I appreciate my life. I look for the lessons. I expect the best.
