We were lucky and very honored to have Hank Smith come speak with Mapleton Elementary students and staff. He talked to us about Being Brave, Kind, that its Ok to have boundaries. That our choices are very important. That they trickle down and affect others, not just ourselves. 

"The difference betwen success and failure is our Choices! "                 Hank Smith

In Miss Belknap's class every student came up with two kindness goals that they want to work on this year. Some include complimenting more people, including others, greeting people by name, etc. In addition to their goals, each student came up with a plan for something they can do DAILY to work toward their goals, and they've been tracking their efforts every day as well. I've already seen them become so much more conscience of their own efforts to be kind each day!

Way to Go !!
