Be sure to check out the Senator Shout Out board outside of the old guidance office. 22 students were recognized by staff members for standing out in a positive and exceptional way so far this semester. Great job Senators!
Senators show respect to themselves by surrounding themselves with positive and supportive peers. While it is okay to seek a large network of friends, research shows that having a smaller number of quality friends is a stronger predictor of happiness. A quality friend is someone who treats you with respect and is there for you when you need them. Talking to such a friend can actually be good for your health because it can lower your blood pressure and heart rate. Have a great week from Be A Senator.
