September

The MES Life Skill for September is Courage. Courage shows up when fear is present.  Because children are still learning the difference between fear that is meant to keep them safe and fear that motivates them to make good choices, we must be good role models and praise students when they demonstrate courage.  We must also recognize times when they struggle to make a good choice and use that time as a learning opportunity.  You don't need a cape to have COURAGE.  COURAGE is inside all of us, and we can do small acts or large acts of COURAGE every day.
