SAFETY on Feb. 14, 2019, Raise the Roof....

...on student assets!  
Where ALL students are UNIQUE and WONDERFULLY MADE!

Today is Raising Student Assets Thursday!

And....today is Valentine's Day!  So, please remember to be "PAW"sitive and super sweet to others today, and every day!  Here is a book to read together before we see today's positive action to Raise Student Assets...check it out!

I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, Feb. 14th! As we continue to improve our positive thoughts, actions and feelings, today we will take a look at raising student assets and a super important positive action word(s):

SAFETY

Tell your teacher what you think the word "SAFETY" means. 
"the condition of being protected, or unlikely to cause danger or harm"

SAFETY.  What does "SAFETY" look like?  When students feel safe at home, school, and in his or her neighborhood, it raises our student assets - allowing us to concentrate on becoming great students!  Watch this video:

Think about a time when you felt safe.  Share with a friend or your teacher, what happened when you felt safe.

Next, talk about ways we stay SAFE at school.
(following expectations, etc.)

Now, (and this may be a really hard question), have you ever not felt safe?  Share with a friend or your teacher if you ever felt unsafe at home,...
at school, or....
in your community/neighborhood.
(allow time for discussion)

What do you think is important to remember if/when you ever feel not safe?  YOU are never alone!

And, you ALWAYS can find help.  

What are some ways we can ask for help when we do not feel safe?
(talk to a friend, tell an adult, a teacher, ask Mr. Cable, call 911....)

Positive Action wants all students to know that our community is here to help, ALWAYS, because we care! 

And remember, it is also important to know that here at Warm Springs Intermediate School, we are all part of a "cougar community" where positive actions start with...

YOU!

Cougars that feel SAFE 

can change the world!
