~~This week represents Yellow Ribbon Week. This year, we are going to do the following: Writing positive messages of support

in the form of post-it notes and attaching them to the inside of the classroom door. When students leave the room they see the

positive messages and are able enjoy a small pick-me-up throughout the day. Students will also be able to practice kindness skills

through this activity. In addition, we will have the "Peace Begins with You" art exhibit – this will allow students to submit their

own artwork (paintings, digital art, photography, writing, etc.) that will encourage unity as well as messages of anti-violence and

anti-bullying. Students will then be able to visit the gallery through gallery walks or during their free time. Art will be displayed in

the Cybrary so students can express their creativity while reflecting on their shared experiences.

During your 3rd period class, please have students create their positive post-it note message and place in their 3rd period

classroom, and if any students are interested in creating a “Peace Begins with You” artwork piece, please have them do so

and submit it to Mr. Der-Gevorkian or Mr. Davarhanian. ~~
