Lifeskill this week: FAIRNESS

Lifeskill this week: FAIRNESS

The lifeskill for this week is FAIRNESS. Eleanor Roosevelt once, "Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both."

We just celebrated the ten-year anniversary of 9/11. I was in high school when this horrific event took place. I remember feeling numbingly shocked, and I felt like time stood still. Nothing at school seemed to matter that day. Classrooms and teachers tuned into the events on CNN and other local news networks. We need to be thankful for the freedoms that we can celebrate each day. Unfortunately, our freedoms were taken away for one day, that has endured for some families for ten years. Make sure, if you have not already, pause, and reflect for those families who lost loved ones on that historic day.

In our schools, today, justice must be for everyone. It doesn't exclude anyone. Eleanor Roosevelt's quote has truly stood the test of time, but we must show it in everything we do. I will be posting some fairness videos that Mrs. Kranning, our school counselor, has shared with us.
