Mr. Fabian Ramirez was able to present to each Middle School on Friday, February 16, 2023, on The Kindness in Me. Fabian's message challenged students to be a room changer by spreading kindness everywhere they go. Fabian also shared with the students the difference between snitching versus reporting, focusing on when you snitch on someone, you want them to get in trouble. However, when you report someone, you want them to get help. Finally, Fabian discussed with students that we cannot control how people treat us, but we can control our responses.

A compliment is an expression of regard, admiration, praise, or respect. It feels great to receive a compliment. Research shows getting a sincere compliment gives us a positive boost and in turn also makes the giver and receiver happy. We know it can feel awkward sometimes to give a compliment and/or to receive one, but the more practice you get, the more natural it will feel. Such examples could include, “You’re like sunshine on a rainy day”, “You are beautiful on the inside and outside”, “You are making a difference” or You’re an awesome friend."

To continue celebrating our Technology staff, here are just a few pictures of great lessons supported by our technology team. From finding exciting activities to do with students to enhance classroom learning, to making sure our equipment is operating properly and our network is top shape, we wouldn't be able to offer our students the experiences they get without each of them. Thank you for all you do everyday to support our students and our schools. We think we have the BEST IT Professionals!
