Amazing Raider Families,
15 days left of Semester 1!
December is considered the loneliest month of the year. For many people, December is a source of joy, but for many others, December represents feelings of loneliness and sadness, often associated with the winter months, but also with holiday season when many spend the holidays alone. Consequently, many organizations have turned this month into a time of the year to intentionally demonstrate care, not just for others but for yourself. When you care for others, it takes aways the focus on yourself and focus on the needs and struggles of others. Below is a “Caring Countdown Calendar.” This special countdown, all the way to Christmas Day, outlines different selfless and kind gestures towards other people. I am going to do these caring acts, and I wanted to share it with all of you so that you can join me. Let’s actively demonstrate our care for others who need cheer during this holiday season.
Reflect and record how much joy this season brought you.
-Give someone a hug or compliment.
-Let someone in front of you in line.
