Hello Parents!

At Sr. OSC we are always trying our best to create an positive environment for both the children and staff.  As many of you might have already seen, "The Compliment Board" is a great way to spread this positive energy!

Here is a picture of the board itself, which is frequently updated as more compliments are written:

On this board, both kids and staff are encouraged to write compliments to each other based on anything positive they have observed in others.  Typically, the kids congratulate others on their achievements, thank them for their friendship, give them encouragement and praise each other's talents.  

Here's how it works:

As you can see, writing a compliment to someone is now easy and fun! A person can write however many compliments they want to whomever they wish.  Also, with the submitting of compliments to the "Drop Box" you can rest assured that a note written to your child is kind and positive as the compliments in the "Drop Box" are checked over by staff before being displayed on the board! Then, of course, the best part of the board is that if a compliment is written to your child, they can take it home!

Here is an example of how The Compliment Board can be used not only for compliments, but also for words of encouragement!

Everyday we notice positive things or actions in others, but sometimes these praises and observations go left unsaid.  With The Compliment Board, it is now easier to say these things to each other, thus creating an environment where we feel happy both with ourselves and others!

Happy Thoughts, 

Stuart
