Weekly Update - 18Sep22
Good day out there, South Nelson Community.
Great to see so many people attend our September PAC meeting this past week with such a willingness to help! With this in mind, I want to share with you a video that came my way last week from the Arbinger Insitute, an organization I had the fortune of doing some training with a few years back.
From Arbinger's website... 'Too often, we go about our lives thinking only about ourselves. We see each other as objects—objects we can use, blame, or ignore. But people aren’t objects. People are much more. Some people honor that humanity. They go about their lives thinking about others—seeing people as people. They are the ones who know what the world could be if we all “turned outward” in this way. In seeing others as people, they invite and inspire others to do the same.'

To the details...
The first few are repeats from last week to be sure these are seen by as many people as possible to start the school year.
