This Week’s P2 Focus & Newsletter

Good morning from your HRES Student Services Team. This week’s Positivity Project character strength is Teamwork. The character strength of Teamwork means that you work well as a group or team member and work hard to help your team achieve its goals.

Quote:  "On a team it’s not the strength of the individual players, but it is the strength of the unit and how they all function together.” - Sheryl Berk 

Dear Families,

This week, our school community will focus on the character strength of Teamwork. Teamwork means you work well as a member of a group or team. You are loyal, reliable, and dedicated to helping your team achieve its goals. 

Teamwork involves prioritizing group success. Those strong in teamwork help all group members succeed, committing time and resources to the group's goals. They often delay personal accomplishments to ensure the group's overall success, which fosters positive feelings and counters selfishness and egotism.

For individuals, teamwork often means deferring or delaying individual accomplishments in order to ensure that the group maintains a high level of success. Their commitment to the larger group effort makes them good teammates. The positive feelings associated with being part of a larger whole — can be highly beneficial and combat selfishness and egotism.

To practice and encourage the character strength of teamwork at home, please visit the Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families. There, you will watch a video clip together and discuss a quote and three questions related to teamwork.

Thank you for your continued support!
