FEATURED EVENT: Happiness is Now
|
Bringing HAPPY back
In an assembly more like a rockin' concert, speaker (and former high school math teacher) Danny Batimana and his Happiness is Now dance crew used story, dance and music to inspire students and staff at Century High School last Friday, March 20. He urged the audience to create positive energy, find their passion, take risks, seek unity through community, and redefine success to achieve happiness. Paraphrasing Confucius, Batimana told the audience: "Love what you do and you'll never have to work a day in your life." The crew's tour also included a multi-league workshop at Century on Thursday attended by leadership students from all HSD high schools and Aloha, McMinnville and Southridge high schools.
