January 24: ♭What a Wonderful World Good afternoon Arrows - It is time for another drawing of the Arrow Pride Award Winner. Michael Jordan is one of the most recognized names in sports. We have seen his name and face in the NBA, movies, tv commercials and even on clothing and shoes. When talking about his career in the NBA he said “I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. We don’t host the Arrow Pride Awards to always point out those who succeed on a daily basis, but also those who take risks, fail, make mistakes and grow from them. The people who become the most successful in life do so through learning lessons along the way. They adapt, self reflect, work hard despite failure and recognize that though there are dark days, through hard work there most certainly will be light. The following students had shown us their best before leaving for the break and because of that we would like to reward them with this week’s Arrow Pride Award. As Arrows we strive to live and learn The Arrow Way by excelling in academics, being responsible and respectful, taking advantage of all the opportunities bestowed upon us, working hard and finding success in all that we do. We are what makes this school a special place to work and learn.
Congratulations to those of you who were picked and good luck to all of you potential winners for next week’s Arrow Pride Awards.

What a Wonderful World Good morning Arrows - It is time for another drawing of the Arrow Pride Award Winner. Having a positive mindset doesn’t only apply to academics. Though we tend to focus on academics at school, we also want you to view life and the opportunities around you with a positive outlook as well. Though life can present hardships, daily stressors, and frustrating experiences, we also know that having a positive view of yourself and your life’s circumstances will help you deal with obstacles as they present themselves as well as having better physical health as well. Medical professionals have also seen the link between your life and your attitude. In a recent article from John Hopkins Medine, an author noted many positives health benefits that also come from having a positive outlook on life: Even though we aren’t all born with a sunny disposition, there are things you can do to not only change your day but ultimately help you lead a healthier happier life in and outside of school. Simply smile more. A University of Kansas study found that smiling—even fake smiling—reduces heart rate and blood pressure during stressful situations. So try a few minutes of YouTube humor therapy when you’re stomping your feet waiting in line or fuming over a work or family situation. It’s difficult not to smile while watching a favorite funny video. Practice Reframing. Instead of stressing about an upcoming test, problems with friends or the Vikings recent loss to the 49ers, spend a few extra minutes listening to music or watching a funny video, accepting that there is absolutely nothing you can do about the Vikings ability to pull through during a big game. Build resiliency. Resiliency is the ability to adapt to stressful and/or negative situations and losses. Experts recommend these key ways to build yours:

Congratulations to those of you who were picked and good luck to all of you potential winners for next week’s Arrow Pride Awards. Good morning Arrows - It is time for another drawing of the Arrow Pride Award Winner and the first of 2020. I would first like to welcome you back to school after a long winter break. I hope that all of you enjoyed time with friends and family. For many, the new year brings the hope of something new and better. A chance to right some wrongs, build on the positives and to approach the following weeks and months and hopefully year with a positive outlook. Unfortunately for some families in our area, the new year brings uncertainty, like the Boels family and Brandon Evansville community who will now be looking to move on from losing loved ones and trying to begin a new normal without some of their loved ones around them. Though it is easy to look at what went wrong in 2019, I think it is always important to look back at what went right and to reflect on the blessings and good fortunes we had as well. Be thankful for your friends and family, be fortunate for the gifts you have been given and remember that life in itself is something to be thankful for not just during the new year but every day.
