CCSD is exploring the character strength: GRATITUDE in The Positivity Project Social Emotional Learning lessons, discussions and activities this week and next week.
Modeling gratitude, 3 of our students who attended Boys and Girls State last spring accepted the invitation to the American Legion Veterans Day dinner. Our students were acknowledged, celebrated and were able to thank the veterans for their sponsorship of their great leadership experience.
A tip of the hat to Matthew Sprague, Duncan Peterson and Athena Macqueen for representing CHS and making us proud! You are great role models for your peers! #PositivityinAction

Dear CCSD Families,
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Bravery. Bravery means you act with mental, moral, or physical strength even when you know things are difficult or scary.
Bravery refers to voluntary (not coerced) action in the face of a dangerous circumstance. This strength involves judgement; the brave person must have an understanding of the risks and consequences involved in acting. According to Socrates and Plato, forethought separates acts of valor from acts of rashness. This means that bravery isn’t simply fearlessness, but instead the overcoming of fear.
Overcoming fears is critically important in individual development, as it allows the person to do more and become more. A person can be brave every single day. For example, some people with social anxiety are brave just by leaving their house and talking with people. On a physical level, bravery allows us to overcome fears, such as swimming or playing a sport. And, on a moral level, doing what we know to be right, despite the risks, gives us the sense that we are acting on behalf of a larger purpose.
To practice and encourage the character strength of bravery with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families (password: P2) where together you will watch a video, read a quote and talk about the answers to three questions.
Have a wonderful week!
