OCTOBER:

The Mental Health Wellness theme for October is Kindness. “Kindness - It costs nothing, but means everything!”  Know what kindness is and live it. Each day we will announce to students a Modern Manners challenge for that day, as a way to practice kindness and respect in your life. 

Today’s Modern Manners is: 

Monday 

Tuesday 

Wednesday 

Thursday 

Friday 

Make the introduction.   

If someone joins your conversation, introduce them to the others in the group. This helps everyone feel included and expands the circle. 

Be Trustworthy.  

If someone tells you something in confidence, keep their secret unless you are worried about their safety or someone else's! Then share it with a trusted adult.  

Don’t whisper.

Whispering in front of others can be hurtful. If you can’t say it in front of everyone, find a more appropriate place and time to have the private conversation. 

Say thank you.

Vocalize your appreciation. Don't make people guess whether you appreciate them or not. Make it a habit. 

Focus on being present.
   

If you are in a room with others they take priority over whatever else is happening. Put your phone away and actually listen to the person speaking to you.
