Think, Choose, Act
Lead yourself to who you want to be.
This month, we’re challenging students to envision future goals and take intentional steps toward who they want to be. We are partnering with you to grow and develop your child’s ability to self-direct. We can model self-direction by celebrating the positive in each day, seeking the good in others, and emphasizing our responsibility to make positive choices.
ENGAGE: Find the Good! Self-direct your thoughts and share Good Things as a family each day. After school, around the dinner table, or before bed, ask each family member to share something good from the day. We often see what we seek! Let’s focus on finding the good.
EMPOWER: Make a Plan If your student doesn’t already use a planner, empower them to start using one to manage their time better. Have a weekly meeting with your student to share what they have added to their planners. You can help them add family gatherings, school events, and due dates.
EXCEL: Affirm Daily Practice growing as a family through positive affirmations. At dinner or some point during the day, give affirmations to each other and share the good things you see. Take it to the next level and think of someone you could affirm outside your family. Challenge each family member to affirm or thank a different person every day this month for something they do or who they are. You can even handwrite a note to thank that person and send them the note in the mail.
Conversation Starters
What is one way you can be more responsible at home or school? What is an activity you want to continue to improve? How do you feel when you finish a project? What is something you want to learn to do?

Materials Needed for the Pumpkin Drop Competition
We will be holding our fourth Pumpkin Drop Competition on Thursday, October 16, 2025.
Students will be working in small groups to design an enclosure to protect a pumpkin from damage when dropped from high altitudes. We will be dropping the creations from the roof of the A-Building onto concrete. Each team will extensively research other designs as they collaborate to create their own. This project involves every area of S.T.E.M. (SCIENCE, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
Students are requesting materials to complete their project. Materials must be at the school prior to Monday, October 13, 2025. They need a box with something to cushion the pumpkin. Some groups are going to need materials for a parachute. The items can be in any condition. This is an opportunity to “RECYCLE” items that might normally be thrown away. Below is a list of items that students have requested in the past. Any items that may be repurposed could be useful.
Boxes – They should at least be large enough to hold a medium size pumpkin with space to add
cushioning. Smaller boxes are still useful.
Pool Noodles
Pillows
Tarp
Bubble Wrap
Empty Water Bottles
Sheets
Styrofoam (No packing peanuts)
Duct Tape or Packing Tape
Hay / Straw
Trash Bags
Blankets
Memory Foam
Cotton Balls
