SAVE THE DATE – John Muir Service Day on Saturday, March 7^thPlease save the date for John Muir Service Day on Saturday, March 7^th from 9am to noon.  John Muir Service Day is a day when students, parents, and staff come together to beautify the campus through gardening projects.  

Mindful Monday Minute
Every Monday our students do a Social-Emotional Learning activity in their Muir Time class.  We encourage you to follow up with your student on what they discussed.

Today in Muir’s Mindful Monday we looked at empathy and perspective taking.  The students attempted to look at a situation from both perspectives.  Many times we believe we know what is going on with the other person, however, we are often wrong.  Seeking to understand both sides often illuminates what is actually going on.  The next time your child has a conflict with a friend at school, ask them what they think is going on with the other person and encourage them to seek to understand their peers.
