December Character Trait: Service
WEEK ONE: What is service?
Service and generosity are closely related. Both require us to see others in a way that allows for their needs to be visible, and both require action from us. This week, we will look at service as an action that you do to help someone do something that they couldn’t do without your help.

Generosity Challenge: Help Keep Others Warm!

7th Grade Classes: Collect as many gloves as you can. Your class is competing against other 7th grade classes!
8th Grade Classes: Collect as many pairs of socks as you can. Your class is competing against other 8th grade classes!
9th Grade Classes: Collect as many winter hats and scarves as you can. Your class is competing against other 9th grade classes!
Bring all your donations to your Friday 3rd period teacher (WIN time). Students in the winning class in each grade will get a tardy pass as a reward!
November is all about generosity. Let’s work together to help others stay warm this winter. Start collecting today and show how generous you can be!
This month, we’re celebrating the character trait of generosity! PJHS students always show incredible generosity, and we’re excited for the opportunities ahead to support them in their efforts. Stay tuned to see how our students make a difference!

We talk about the differences in rude, mean, and bullying behaviors, but sometimes it can be hard to understand what is considered mean. Another way to look at mean behaviors is to look at them as conflict. Here's how to know the differences in conflict and bullying.
Bullying is different from conflict.
Conflict is a disagreement or argument in which both sides express their views.
Bullying is negative behavior directed by someone exerting power and control over another person.
Think about it this way:
Conflict, while sometimes uncomfortable, can be an opportunity for equal partners in the situation to learn how to solve problems. This will happen by both people working the problem out through healthy and positive means.
Bullying is done by someone perceived to be more powerful than the target and is unwanted, negative, and meant to cause harm to the bullying target through physically or emotionally damaging means that are repeated or threatened to be repeated.
The better we understand the situation, the better we can work things out. To learn more about the differences in conflict and bullying, click here: https://www.pacer.org/bullying/info/questions-answered/conflict-vs-bullying.asp
