Raising Resilient and Confident Kids in the Age of Achievement Culture
Register Here: https://cartwheelcare.zoom.us/webinar/register/4717319508974/WN_xgrFDmPXTA2JFHJlwcqasw?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=campaign_11743079#/registration
Kids and teens often feel immense pressure to perform well - be it socially, academically, or in extracurricular activities. Because of these pressures - many youth grow up tying their self-worth to their social status, accomplishments, or accolades, which can have negative impacts on their mental health.
Join Cartwheel and Katie Steele, LMFT for a webinar which looks at achievement culture and the impacts this has on the mental health of our kids and teens - including higher rates of perfectionism, anxiety, and depression. Learn what to do (and not to do) as a parent or caregiver to support your children and help them build a sense of confidence, resilience, and self-worth that is not tied to their achievements.



Friday is Substitute Educators Day. We are wearing maroon and gold apparel to support our school district. We are thankful today for those who are willing to substitute for the teachers of CUSD15. These are the individuals who are willing to step-in and step-up to the role of running the classroom and getting the lesson accomplished. We genuinely appreciate them covering for our teachers.

Thursday is Educator for a Day. Have you ever thought about what all goes into being an educator? Today, we want to highlight our secretaries, clerks, nurses, health aides, and custodians. These individuals keep our buildings running smoothly and do way more than anyone can imagine. Please tell them how much they are appreciated today.

Wednesday is Education Support Professionals Day. We are wearing college apparel to support higher education. Today, we would like to recognize our paraprofessionals. Classroom aides are the heartfelt heroes of our district who use their talents to help students discover their own talents, dedicating their time and energy each day to the students in their care, and doing it all while meeting the individual needs of many. Please take a moment today to thank them.

Healthy meals help the mind focus. We would like to take today to thank the cafeteria staff for providing two meals a day for our students. CUSD15 has hardworking staff who prepare, serve, and clean up breakfast and lunch for our students. Also, we couldn’t do what we do without the support from our community and parents. CUSD15 is so grateful to have a wonderfully active PTO and CCEF organizations supporting our effort. With the help of community businesses, leaders, and parents these organizations put a great deal of time and effort into recognizing and supporting educational efforts. Please thank those involved.

American Education Week (AEW), first celebrated in 1921, is an opportunity to celebrate public education, to inform the community of the accomplishments and needs of public schools, to secure cooperation and support from the public, and to honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every child receives a quality education. AEW is
always celebrated the week prior to the week of Thanksgiving.
Today we will focus on our transportation personnel. We have many who help our transportation system run smoothly: a transportation director, a mechanic, bus drivers, bus monitors, crossing guards, and van drivers. They work hard to make sure our students arrive at school safely. Please thank them as you see them this week.
