Positivity Posts

I see that we often use this forum as a place to vent our frustrations, share stories of difficult situations, and seek advice on how to handle difficult coworkers who don't understand our roles... So, I thought it might be nice to start a thread where we can share positive outlooks, things we love about our job, and acts of kindness... Kind of an antithesis to the "C'mon Now!!" thread (which I am a staunch supported and contributor of/to)!

I'll start.....

Amidst all of the COVID-19 drama, our 5th grade teacher sent two of her students around the school this morning to wipe down surfaces with her classroom supply of wipes and I am just relishing the fact that my office now smells like antiseptic lemons as the two boys came through and asked what areas needed to be hit. I love how situations like this can sometimes actually bring a community together!

Along this same vein, one of our parents realized she over-reacted when she bought cases of Lysol wipes and decided to donate one case to the health office. 

On Monday, a teacher thanked me for being here to help the kids through this horrible cold/flu/COVID19 season and help admin be more understanding of staff out sick. 

I positively support this thread!

Last week I taught preschool through elementary a handwashing song that teaches them how and how long to wash their hands.  I share a wall with the boys bathroom and have been hearing the boys sing in unison before lunch everyday.  Cuteness and illness prevention all in one.

I got thanks from several teachers for a video and information on how to properly disinfect common areas.
