Three Things This Tuesday

Today I'm delighted because I put the finishing touches on my final bulletin board for the year. I find it so exhilarating to create something in my mind
 and then bring it to life visually on a big board. 

I put this fun, brilliantly-colored picture of some superheroes under the Character Cape, for those literal learners who'll actually lift it up to look. 

The limited-edition, reversible capes are on sale now for $25.00; leave me a comment if you'd like to reserve one before they're gone.

I'm also excited because The Corner on Character was included on this AmAzInG and comprehensive list of counseling resources at Masters In Counseling online. It's quite an honor to be recognized in such great company.

Finally, I'm so thankful to have such a great job. This afternoon a third-grade girl stopped by to ask me a question. She prefaced it with another query, wondering: Does my question have to be about character? 
I was tempted with something like ... What else is there?, 
but decided against a rhetorical response.
I just love visiting with kids!

Tomorrow we'll be hosting nine educators from down the road in Brazosport ISD and sharing a little bit about our character framework and philosophy. As I was preparing, I came across this note that a student wrote years ago when I first started thirteen years ago at Westwood:

We created a thousand of these school-wide {each one unique, of course} during guidance peace class and put them on delivery boxes at local pizza parlors to send our character message out into the community. Imagine getting this cheery note on your pepperoni pizza when you order out tonight.

Love one another and be happy ...
