Word and Quote of the Week<\/h4>\n

*** Positive Outlook ***<\/p>\n

*** Don’t be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true.”<\/p>\n

– John Keats<\/p>\n

Trivia Question of the Week<\/h4>\n

Q. What city became the United States Capital in 1789? (Answer at the end of this newsletter.)<\/p>\n

Employee Morale Activity<\/h3>\n

Smiley Face Poster Contest<\/h3>\n

World Smile Day is the first Friday in October. Smiles are important because they add sparks of energy that light up the room and make everyone happy.<\/p>\n

Here is an idea that can boost Morale and add “smiles” to everyone’s faces.<\/p>\n

Pass out mini-poster boards or card stock paper to all employees. Encourage each employee to be creative and design a “Smiley Face” Poster!<\/p>\n

Employees can use any art medium to express their creativity; for example, use watercolors, colorful markers, crayons, paint pens, calligraphy and three dimensional craft ideas to name just a few.<\/p>\n

Provide a form for judging the posters.<\/p>\n

The categories can be:<\/p>\n

* creative,<\/p>\n

* colorful,<\/p>\n

* humorous,<\/p>\n

* weird,<\/p>\n

or any other ideas that you come up with for your contest.<\/p>\n

Poster Parade<\/p>\n

At the end of the week, you can set aside some time to have everyone get together. Then, you can have a “Poster Parade” for all those who participated to walk around with their posters. You could also have a pot luck lunch, and have everyone show off their posters!<\/p>\n

Award 1st, 2nd, 3rd prizes in each category and give smiley face stickers to all who participated. After all employees have created their posters, then they can be posted on a wall.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/p>\n

A lunch area is a good place to hang the colorful posters of smiley faces.<\/p>\n
