All things E.Q. 1/21-1/24: Creating the life you want requires effort. This week we want students reflecting on the fact that we cannot wish something into existence. The life we want to create for ourselves requires our effort. The student insight this week will include three reasons effort enhances their life: 1. Effort makes the most of each moment. No matter what kind of moment you are in right now, you can make the most of it by bringing the effort to it. 2. Understand what you lose when you don’t bring the effort. By neglecting to bring the effort to a situation, you make the choice to not get anything useful out of the situation. You may feel your time is being wasted instead of seeing the opportunities that are available to you if you are willing to bring the effort. Without effort, opportunities are missed, and boredom becomes a companion. 3.The things that require effort are more desirable. Sure, there are things that are pleasurable that don’t require effort, but you’ll soon find that while those things are nice, they don’t lead to fulfillment. A good life is measured not only by how much enjoyment and pleasure we have but also by becoming the best version of ourselves. When we achieve our goals, we feel happy, fulfilled and proud. “Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.”-Franklin D. Roosevelt

World Language Club: ¡hola, bonjour, nihao. World language club is going to have Chandeleur themed for next meeting. Please join us at 2:15 on Tuesday, February 4 at room 331. Everyone is welcome.

Community Conversation: Deer Valley Unified School District will once again be hosting a Community Conversation centered on the topic of suicide awareness and social and emotional learning. Led by nationally known expert Dr. Max McGee and his group of presenters, members of our school community can expect an informative and lively presentation about a wide range of issues that students in our society face today. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer period with Dr. McGee, his presenters, and DVUSD district administrators. Please join us in the Sandra Day O’Connor High School Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, February 5th at 7 pm. We expect the presentation to last an hour with the question and answer period to follow. We believe anyone who has any interest in youth in our society will benefit from attendance. Those who attended last year reported that it was one of the most meaningful and informative presentations they had seen. We hope to see you there.
