Nurturing Positive Connections: Fostering Healthy Relationships in November
Hello, amazing parents and students!
As November graces us with its presence, we embark on a journey dedicated to the art of fostering positive connections and relationships. This month, we'll explore the magic of building meaningful bonds that enrich our lives, from friendships that light up our days to family ties that provide unwavering support, and beyond. Join us as we delve into the heartwarming realm of nurturing healthy connections, enhancing our well-being and spreading positivity throughout our lives. At Art Smith, we will be reading a book by Julia Cook, entitled "Making Friends is an Art!". The students will have some time to do some activities that go along with the book.
