I added a jar to each classroom on our first day of classes in January and declared them our Achievaloutions Jars. Students and visitors are encouraged to add notecards with their Achievaloutions (things they feel good about having done) throughout each month. This series will share all of the Acheivaloutions in hopes of inspiring you to do good things AND notice them when you do!Spring/Summer 2015 - Achievaloutions
