Promoting the Positive with Happiness

Over the past few weeks a few more smiles started showing up again in West Orange. Maybe it's saying "Hello" to Spring and "Goodbye" to one of the most frustrating winters in recent history. Maybe it's simply the ability to get outside again and enjoy our backyards, our parks and see neighbors & friends who have been hibernating for the past few months like the rest of us. Whatever it is, most would agree that being HAPPY is way better than any alternative. 

This past week, the West Orange High School students and faculty released an amazing video to celebrate Spirit Day. Students of all classes, all races, all religions, male, female, athletes, musicians, actors, straight-A students, dancers, and everyone in between came together for a project that I challenge anyone to watch and not smile from ear to ear wishing you were back in High School and part of this memorable project/event.

This collaboration is what defines West Orange -- students & faculty from all walks of life coming together for good. We should all take a lesson from our next generation here in West Orange, promote the positive, and be HAPPY.

“You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.”
