Others Matter:
One of the most important ingredients for a happy life is our relationship with others.  Research tells us how we respond to another person's good fortune is a better predictor of a successful relationship than how we respond when things go badly. Learn a simple technique that will allow you to respond to other's good news in a way that will build your relationship.

Next Wednesday 4/17: Grit -  Research shows that perseverance  is as important to success as intelligence. Learn about grit and how to help your children become grittier.

Help Wanted!  
LJES eBlast TEAM MEMBERS* 
Needed for
Next School Year

*Yes, this job can be shared.

No Experience Necessary!
Do you want to help LJES, but prefer a behind-the-scenes job you can do from home?  Are you interested in learning about what is happening in our school community? Are you a tiny bit creative? Then you might  enjoy being part of our 'eBlast team'. 

You don't need to be a 'techie' at all. We do need someone to take a lead/coordinator role, and it helps if this person is somewhat organized. Others can take a support role. All training will be provided.

If interested, of if you just want to learn more, please contact Barbara Hagey at barhagey@yahoo.com
