Welcome to February!

This month our Advocacy focus is on Empathy and Kindness. We will be exploring what empathy is and how we can develop our capabilities of being empathetic to those around us. We will also be focusing on kindness this month. Instead of brining and sharing Valentine cards and candy, Westgate writes kindness cards and delivers those cards to our business and community neighbors. 7/8 will be making cards and delivering them to the Northglenn and Thornton Police Departments. Please be on the lookout for a permission form link coming from your student’s Advocacy teacher.
