Week of Respect Assembly | 10/10

10/4/2019 3:43 pm

NED’s Mindset Mission Assembly is visiting our school!

NED and our students take a journey to find their positive mindset. As we celebrate the Week of Respect, we celebrate the power of "yet" in all of us. We respect every child as they grow in their own path of possibility.

The show is filled with storytelling, humor, illusions and amazing yo-yo tricks where our kids learn the hidden message in NED's name:

Never give up — understand The Power of YET
Encourage others — spark courage in other people
Do your best® — always be learning and growing

Do you want to learn to yo? A yo-yo is both a mindset tool and a tangible reminder of

NED's message. While learning to yo, children will make mistakes, try again and improve.

Click here to print a flyer. Yo-yos are sold by PRE-ORDER only. Pre-orders are due THURSDAY, October 10!
