MONTHLY THEME:

Teamwork is when people join forces to achieve a common goal.

Whether in the classroom, on the playground, or during group projects, working together helps us accomplish more and learn from each other. Teamwork teaches us the importance of listening, communication, and supporting one another to achieve common goals.

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE:

"Teamwork is the secret that makes common people achieve uncommon results."

– Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha

🎉 Celebrating the New Year! 🎉

As we welcome 2025, let’s embrace a growth mindset! At The Delta Academy, we believe challenges are opportunities to grow and learn. Setting goals is a powerful way to create focus, build motivation, and achieve success. Here are some tips to help you crush your goals this year:

🎯 Be Specific and Clear:

• Set clear targets to work toward. Instead of “I want to do better in school,” try “I will complete all my homework on time for the next month.”

📝 Break Goals into Smaller Steps:

• Big goals can feel overwhelming. Break them into manageable steps to stay on track and feel accomplished along the way.

📊 Make Goals Measurable:

• Track your progress to stay motivated. For example, if your goal is to improve in math, monitor your grades or the number of study sessions you complete each week.

🌟 Stay Positive and Flexible:

• Setbacks happen! Learn from challenges, adjust your approach, and keep going. That’s the essence of a growth mindset.

🎉 Celebrate Small Wins:

• Every step forward is worth celebrating! Recognizing progress boosts motivation and makes the journey more enjoyable.

🤝 Stay Accountable:

• Share your goals with someone you trust, like a family member, friend, or mentor, to help keep you on track and offer support.

💬 We’re Here to Help!

• The Social Work Team is here to support students and families alike. If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re happy to help!
