Powder Puff: Wednesday night Dec 11, come to the main field to watch an epic battle between Junior and Senior girls as they fight for the crown. 7 pm stars the showdown but it's all for charity. Buy a ticket at the door for only $5 and purchase a shirt or some hot cocoa to support and stay warm! See you there!

All things E.Q. 12/9-12/13: What you say about someone says more about you than them. Our words reflect our thoughts, and because of this, our words are a window into our minds and how we see the world. What we say reveals more about us than the person or subject we may be speaking about. "Gossip reflects the insecurity of those who initiate it."-Oprah Winfrey If you find yourself in a conversation with someone, and they begin to speak unkindly about another person, there are three simple strategies you can use to navigate this situation. 1. Stay quiet. Don't join in on the gossip. People who gossip will likely stop if no one is contributing to the conversation. 2. If that doesn’t work, change the subject. Often asking a question will help change the subject, such as, “Is there homework due today in English?” 3. Walk-Away. Finally, you can always find a neutral reason to walk away, like get a drink of water, etc. To speak ill of another person is a sign of our insecurity and weakness; to notice the merits and strengths of others is a sign of our personal strength. Share your strengths with the world. Begin, right now, by taking a moment to be grateful for your own merits and qualities.

Ugly Sweater / Free Hot Chocolate: A fun tradition we have at BC is rocking the most outlandish, hideous holiday sweater on the last full Friday of school, which is this Friday the 13th. Wear your ugliest sweater or make your own! Also, come to the Echo Circle Friday morning between 7-7:30 to enjoy some FREE hot cocoa!!
