The Essential 55 - Rule 36 and 37
Rule 36: Hold the door for people rather than letting it close on them.
- If someone is behind you, hold open the door for them.
- If the door pulls open, it's proper to stand to the side and hold it open.
- If the door opens by pushing, go in first then continue to keep it open.
- A general reminder to say "thank you" when someone holds open the door.
- If you bump into someone, even if it's accidental, it's polite to say, "excuse me."
- Make it clear you are allowing someone ahead of you by saying, "after you."
Rule 37: Be a good listener.
- Really tune in and listen to someone, without the distraction of a cellphone or some other object.
- Look at the person, and when appropriate, add comments to show you are really listening such as, "wow" or "that's interesting."
- Show the appropriate emotions and responses to the speaker.

St. Joan of Arc has been bringing Christmas Joy to the residents of La Belle for the past six years. Traditionally, 8th graders help in this endevaor as a continuation of what they have learned in 7th grade with the "That's Not Fair" program.
St. Joan of Arc, in partnership with the Hispanic CCW St. Ana, delivered boxes with non perishable food items, toiletries, towels, blankets, toys and bicycles. Thank you, Mrs. Zuloaga, Mrs. Hammes, Mrs. Rodriguez, Mrs. Metzger, Mrs. Paulino, Mrs. Guasch, Mr. Rodriguez, and Mrs. Guariglia and all those involved for making this event possible and for sharing our blessings with others.

Who said learning can't be fun? The 4B buddies met with their Pre-K4B buddies for some Christmas fun and a S.T.R.E.A.M activity! The students exchanged handmade cards and used the iPads to do research on the Polar Express and made Keynote presentations which they shared with the rest of the group. Learning from their older peers, who are modeling critical thinking and research skills, really helps the young minds grow. By teaching to another, it reinforces material for our future leaders as well.
