A strong argument for the power of situational awareness. Take a look at how a 7th grader became a hero when so many of his classmates were oblivious to the real danger they were in.

Proud to have REACH leadership from Ellis Middle School in Austin, MN come visit my REACH Stewartville classes this morning. They were looking for guidance to further improve their program. Always willing to share!

Sharing @Joe_Beckman 's book w/ all my REACH students & SHS/SMS colleagues this week. Recipients were 1st asked to read it and consider what Joe's message means to them. Then asked to consider passing the book on to someone else who could use his message in their life right now.

REACH Character lesson for this week: How one simple, but reluctant act of kindness led to more...and more...and eventually a complete change in this young man's life trajectory. Take a look.

This week in REACH we are focusing on the "myth of multitasking". Try this simple exercise we did in class and see what you think.

Honored to have a such a large group from Zumbrota-Mazeppa High School visit my REACH classes at SHS this morning as they pursue the goal of starting REACH there. Looking forward to helping them along the way.

Can one act of kindness change the world? I truly believe it can. What do YOU think? Using this special that recently aired in my REACH classes next week. "The Gift: Kindness Goes Viral" With Steve Hartman is definitely worth your time to watch. Enjoy!

A REACH class lesson from earlier this week: Surround yourself with those who make you better.

REACH lesson from earlier this week:
We ALL can learn from each other. Sometimes the biggest lessons are found in the most unexpected places. Grab a tissue for this one. I promise you won't be disappointed.

I love using "On The Road With Steve Hartman" and his "Kindness 101" series in my REACH classes at Stewartville High School and Middle School. Take a look at this story of one teacher and 5th grade class who were recently surprised by a visit from Hartman.

[REACH Jim Parry @REACHJimParry]

I've been asking my students to consider the following:
1. What are your values?
2. Do you live by them, no matter the setting or who you are with?
3. Are you willing to share them with others by setting an example for others to see?
4. Are you willing to defend those values?

[REACH Jim Parry @REACHJimParry]

We've spent the last few weeks in REACH class talking about values and character. I recently used this episode of "What Would You Do?" as one of many discussion starters. So...what would YOU do in the scenario below? Take a look.
