3.     The What A Life program will be introducing the Situation Box this week during lunch.  Do you have a Situation that you are not sure how to handle?  Did you see something wrong and are uncertain what to do about it?  Are you being pressured to act a certain way but don’t know how to react?  The Situation Box is for students to submit a real issue that they are facing and are unsure about how to handle.  Each week a chosen Situation will be highlighted on the bulletin board and students will offer advice, suggestions and solutions that will also be posted on the board.  So you have two ways to use the Situation Box…..submitting situations you need help with……and/or offering advice for someone else’s situation.  Check it out in the Cafeteria.  Volunteers with be at lunches Monday & Tuesday to help you get started.  The Personal Integrity quote for today comes from the revolutionary Thomas Paine: “Character is much easier kept than recovered”
