Over 50% of a message s meaning is communicated through body language...and another 38% is conveyed through the speaker s tone. We ve got to listen to more than just the words. (McKay, M. Davis and P. Fanning, 1995) This quote reminds me of the insurance commercial on TV, where a young girl is getting a new car, and a man sees his car up on blocks. The commercial shifts back and forth between the two. They are saying the exact same words ( Is this my car? This is ridiculous! ), but their situation, tone and feelings are totally different. Smiling and Moving (Waking Up) is about making that little bit of extra effort to communicate a positive message through serving others.
Congratulations to our Miller Avenue Students Jonathon Domer, Colton Domer, Emily Kuemerle, Colson Kuemerle, Hailey Schlabach, and Cede Schlabach for their efforts and showings at the Tuscarawas County Fair!
