WORDS MATTER WEEK 2017
Each of our schools participated in activities and events that recognized the value and importance of our words during Words Matter Week (February 5-9). The week focuses on the power that words can have to make others feel good about themselves or to bring others down. This is the 4th year SRVUSD celebrated the week.
The hope is that the ongoing dialogue inspires students, staff, and parents to be mindful of the words they choose in day-to-day conversations, not only during this week of awareness, but all year long.
The week was a success thanks to the partnership between the San Ramon Valley Council of PTAs and the District's Climate Committee.
