Library News: East Side Story: A 1950’s Mystery Party Friday, March 13th from 5:30 to 8 pm At the library. Hey Daddy-o. It’s 1955 and Fontaine City has a problem with teenage street gangs. The hot rod racing gang called the D-Birds and their ladies, the Pink Chicks, rule the east side of town. The Pit Viper motorcycle gang runs the west side of town, and their ladies are the Black Widows. If either of these gangs ends up on the other’s turf, a white knuckle rumble may break out and cause chaos in the streets. The cheerleaders believe that bringing the teens of Fontaine City together will solve the gang problem, so they have scheduled the Friendship Sock Hop. You have been invited. This is where your story begins. Stop by the library to register today.

All things E.Q. 2/24-2/28: Rise above, rather than react to your environment. The message this week is about how we can’t always control the situation we find ourselves in, and at times our situation will be less than we desire. It’s easy to let a situation control our mood and behavior and forget we ever had the choice to rise above our circumstances. Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius taught this idea: “Here is a rule to remember in the future, when anything tempts you to feel bitter: not "This is a misfortune," but "To bear this worthily is good fortune.” -Marcus Aurelius Unpleasant situations do tempt us to react in anger or bitterness. However, the temptation isn’t something to be ashamed of; everyone feels the pull of these negative emotions. What’s important is to remember we can turn down the invitation to react in anger or frustration and when we do, we rise above, rather than react to our environment. “To succeed, it is necessary to accept the world as it is and rise above it.” -Michael Korda Our insights for the students this week: When things are not working out, pay attention to the questions you ask yourself. For example, if you are struggling to accept the situation you may ask: “Why is this happening to me?” However, this question focuses on the problem, not the solution and your answers will only make you feel worse because they will either be about pity or blame and neither will help you improve. Or you can choose to accept the fact that everyone has problems to bear and focus on a solution by asking yourself: “How can I best respond to what happened?” The answer to this question will help you rise above your circumstances because it is action-oriented and focused on what’s next rather than on what happened. Our actions, in the face of unpleasant situations, demonstrate our true character. Rise above because you are more than your circumstances,
