Dear CCSD Families,
This week, our school community is focusing on the character strength of Humor. Humor means you like to laugh and bring smiles to other people.
Humor is a sense of playfulness and lightness. It is a way of looking at and describing the world that brings people laughter. A person with a strong sense of humor is skilled at seeing the funny side of things, bringing smiles and laughter to others, and identifying and communicating the absurdities in life. People with this strength don’t specifically need to be joke-tellers, although many are.
Humor plays an important role in helping groups of people rise above difficult circumstances and boost morale. It removes us from our present difficulties by easing tension and making life more fun. This is why athletic teams often need a jokester to help them get through tough losses and early morning fitness sessions. On a larger societal level, humor often helps downtrodden groups to find cohesion and strength. This is why Simon Wiesenthal said, “Humor is the weapon of unarmed people: it helps people who are oppressed smile at the situation that pains them.”
To practice and encourage the character strength of humor with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families, where together you can watch a video, read a quote and talk about the answers to three questions.
We hope that you will consider asking your students about their Positivity Project SEL daily lessons, discussions and activities!

A big shout out to the students in Mrs. Fay's Sports Marketing Class and Mrs. Graham's Foods Class for a successful interdisciplinary unit with real world applications!

What a great real-world business venture experience for our students!! We have some future entrepreneurs in our high school ready to take on the business world!
