[03/04/19]   I love my staffulty and here is why. They do these things:
5 Ways to be More Positive:
1. Count your blessings. You can’t be stressed and thankful at the same time.
2. See your challenges as opportunities for growth.
3. Don’t listen to your negative thoughts.
4. Feed yourself with positive encouragement.
5. Choose faith instead of fear.

Keenan Bunton demonstrated some Bobcat pride at the Tarheel Tango 2018 in Chapel Hill, NC on October 13th. Keenan competed in the 3 by 3, 2 by 2, 4 by 4, skewb and pyraminx competitions. His personal best, and the one he's most proud of, was a 3 by 3 completed in just 19 seconds! Keenan cannot wait for his next competition on 11/3/18 at Trident Technical College. He has been practicing like crazy and even improved his best times in preparation for next weekend!
