We were excited to focus on courage this month! Courage is “doing what is right, helpful, and kind—even when it’s hard or scary.” Whether it’s speaking up for a friend, trying something new, or standing strong in tough times, courage helps us grow into confident, caring people.

Throughout the month, students explored the many ways courage shows up in everyday life. We shared stories, participated in discussions, and celebrated moments of bravery big and small. It was inspiring to see students recognize that courage doesn’t always roar—sometimes, it’s a quiet voice that says, “I’ll try again tomorrow.”

We all have courageous moments in our lives. Many of us have seen people practice courage in ways that deeply moved and inspired us. Stories are powerful tools for building connection and understanding. We encourage you to take some time as a family to share your own stories of courage.

Here are some helpful prompts to get the conversation started:

🗣️ A time I (or someone I know) showed courage was ______________.
💬 An act of courage that changed or challenged me was ______________.

Thank you for being our partners in supporting your children as they grow into brave, kind, and resilient individuals. We can’t wait to see how they continue to show courage in the weeks to come!
