On Friday we had an
assembly about bullying. We learned that everyone has a strength and we can use
our strength to build confidence in ourselves. With that confidence, we can
stand up for ourselves and everyone around us against bullying. Our speaker's
strength was being one of the strongest humans in the world. He demonstrated his
strength in many ways....one of which is in the video below. It's definitely
worth watching!!!!
This past weekend a few WBE teachers and I tested our own strength and teamwork as we DEFEATED the Tough Mudder Challenge. It was definitely one of the hardest things I have ever done, but with determination and a great team we did it! I am so proud to now call my self a Tough Mudder. Here are a few pictures from the challenge.
