Today our students had the incredible opportunity to hear from Joe Olinger, motivational speaker from Point of Break. Joe shared powerful messages about bullying, showing kindness, and the importance of staying true to who you are. His stories and energy reminded our students that their words and actions have the power to make a positive impact every single day.

Joe’s message connected perfectly with our PBIS expectations:

• Be Kind – Treat others with compassion and lift them up.

• Be Respectful – Accept differences and honor each other’s feelings.

• Be Responsible – Own your choices and make decisions that help our school community thrive.

​

Two of Joe’s quotes really stuck with our students:
“I lift others up with my words.”
“I lift others up with my actions.”

We’re so grateful for the inspiration and for reminding our students that kindness and character matter—every day, in every interaction.
