I am excited to announce that our SJPS elementary schools are beginning a new journey as Positivity Project (or P2) partner schools thanks to the generosity of our St. Joseph Public Schools Foundation. This amazing character-building program will be infused on our daily class meetings and will be supported district-wide throughout the school year. All classrooms will begin our implementation November 23rd with the character strength "gratitude". Click here to learn more about this powerful program on P2's family site.

Entries are due by Friday 1/29. Valentine's Day:   February 14th is approaching fast and, of course, things this year will be a little different.  It just so happens that the 14th is on a Sunday this year and students do not have school on Friday the 12th or on Monday the 15th. So, hold off on the candy and packaged valentines, here is the plan... During the week of February 8 - 11, our Positivity Project (P2) activities will be focused on "Love."  Their definition of love is that you value close relationships with others and being close to people.
