Thank you KPA
Our talent show last month was a huge success and lots of fun. The whole school community thanks the KPA for their generosity in funding the beautiful venue that we all enjoyed. The reception in the atrium with coffee and light snacks was a wonderful way to begin the evening. Let’s do it again next year!

April’s Habit of Mind: Finding Humor
“A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.” ~Dwight D. Eisenhower
People who laugh a lot usually have a positive attitude and the ability to find humor even when things are not going well.
There are right and wrong ways to find humor.
Right ways are: building each other up and being supportive, not making offensive jokes, and not being afraid to laugh at yourself. Wrong ways are: employing laughter to humiliate others while not being able to laugh at yourself, finding humor by using vulgarity, violence, and profanity.
“It is the ability to take a joke, not make one, that proves you have a sense of humor.” ~Max Eastman, American writer, philosopher and activist
