Students in Wylie participated in Wylie Way Day Sept. 13. This year’s theme was “Day of Happiness.” Students used the hashtag #happinesswisd and #happy21 throughout the day in different classes.

According to www.wylieisd.net, the Wylie Way is a movement that is research based and designed to set students on the path to achievement in every area of their lives. It is built on the foundation of relationships, strengths and interests, plan and purpose, and core ethical values.

Each subject had a lesson planned for the class that followed Wylie Way Day. English had students find their top five strengths. Science had students write down three things they were thankful for. Math had students share their opinion over quotes about being happy. Social Studies had students decorate rocks that they would later give to their friends.

The next upcoming Wylie school event is Unity Day Oct. 18.
