February 2023: Stronger Together Newsletter
February Wellness Newsletter!
February is all about synergizing in kindness. El Monte City School District (EMCSD) schools are launching kindness campaigns from February 14-17. Please look out for those details coming from your child's school. Together, we are celebrating love, kindness, and the importance of working together.
This month's habit focus is Habit #6: Synergize
Synergizing is the habit of creative cooperation. In a synergistic environment, true collaboration takes place because the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. Your kind contribution cultivates a synergized family, school, and community.
