A Plus: Munroe Elementary School Students Set Positive, Mindful Examples

Our A+ goes out to more letter writers at Munroe Elementary School in Tallmadge!

A group of students there made a special effort to encourage younger students about a big test. Students in Mrs. Durbak and Mrs. Delre's classes begin each week with Growth Mindset Monday. They focus on their mental attitudes in terms of growth and learning. Recently they talked about the importance of self-talk and encouraging others.

After a discussion, the students wrote letters of encouragement to first graders at the school who are about to take the standardized test. Mrs. Durbak and Mrs. Delre said their students were so excited to make the notes and to support other kids.

So congrats to these students for your work making others feel good, we're awarding you this week's NewsDepth A+ Award!

We wish everyone the best during testing season though and hope you've got the time to write a few letters for us as well.
