Practicing daily kindness is one of the ultimate ways we live out our core school expectation of "Taking Care Of Others." Beyond simply being a nice gesture, kindness has real science behind it: giving a genuine compliment or helping someone triggers a natural chemical boost in your own brain (releasing dopamine and oxytocin), which instantly lowers stress, improves your mood, and increases your energy. When kindness becomes our default, it creates a trickle-down effect across campus, replacing anxiety with trust and making our school a place where everyone feels safe and valued.
While showing kindness to your inner circle is second nature, extending that warmth to people outside your friend group takes real courage and carries even greater power. Choosing to be kind to someone you barely know is pure empathy - it comes with zero expectation of getting anything in return. It breaks down invisible cliques, destroys the feeling of isolation for someone who might be struggling, and proves that our community actively cares for every Scorpion, not just our closest buddies.
The Challenge: Step out of your comfort zone this week and put "Taking Care Of Others" into action. High-five someone in the hallway you rarely talk to, hold the door for a student in a different grade, or invite someone sitting alone to join your conversation. Let's make sure no one walks these halls feeling invisible.

Announcement From the LC
I hope everyone has settled in and gotten back into the swing of things. This is a quick reminder to return any books you borrowed over the summer. If you haven't returned them yet, they are now officially overdue.
Stop by the LC to see Ms. Kelli and me! We would love to help you find a new book, and you can share a summer takeaway or a new school year goal on our display board.
Be sure to check out our LC Resources page! It includes research tools, study tips, and our library catalog so you can browse our collection anytime.
Just a reminder that you are welcome to stop in and check out books during lunch, breaks, and after school. We are always happy to give you suggestions or help you find a book.
We can’t wait to see you!
Ms. Lori & Ms. Kelli
Ms. Black

Things for MS to remember in the cafe:
The cafe is ONLY AVAILABLE DURING LUNCH (not breaks)
This is a quiet area (people 5 meters away should NOT understand your conversation) - this space is very open and noise travels to the Library side which can interrupt learning.
NOTE - On Thursdays, the cafe closes at 3:30 p.m.
"I would like to give Ms. Asma a shoutout because in advisory she always lets us play games and it makes it way more funner."
You & your friends can send us a shout-out for any teacher—just tell us who and why, and you’ll see it pop up in this section soon! 🎉
👉 To do that, just email Ms. Diala at dgammoh@acsamman.edu.jo or swing by her office and share the details!
