We all know that SkyView Academy is a different school in itself, but one of its most unique qualities is the all-around kindness. From student to student, teacher to student, even student to teacher, there's an overall love that's being shared. Sometimes this is just a simple, "Okay?" assertion from Jillian or an, "Amino Sister-Wife Pants!" greeting from Claire. Other times it's one of Mr. Brehm's so-called "compliments" or Goettsch's "money!" feedback on daily quizzes. All of these tiny comments throughout the week, or even the day, add up to the wonderful feeling of mattering. What a great feeling; mattering. Wouldn't you like others to bathe in the cleansing feeling? This is where we must pass on the fact that others matter to us and we need to let them know.
The other morning, as I made my way down the staircase to the band room, I saw a lady walking up the stairs. I didn't know who she was but I said, "Good morning." She donned a great smile, and seemed genuinely happy, as she returned the salutation. It's simple acts like this that can make someone's day. Accelerate the message of mattering. Let others in your community know that they matter to you. Be it a sticky note that says "You're cool" or a nice phone call, the smallest things to you are some of the largest to others. Knowing that someone else thinks about you, that you pass through their mind for even a split second, is one of the greatest feelings in the world. Let others know you think about them, let them feel this great emotion. Let them know they matter.
