May Leader in Me Theme
Courage - SHARE YOUR VOICE
It is not often easy to share your voice and it takes COURAGE to do so. We are challenging everyone to practice courage each day for the next 22 days of school. A Courage Challenge Board is in the hall with a suggestion each day for something courageous to do.
Teachers encourage your students to be courageous (respectfully of course) by challenging bad behaviors, sharing ideas in class even when you don’t know if you are right, trying new things, and more. If your class has 50% of students attempt courage each day, your class will earn an extra recess with an outside dance party at 10:00 on the last day of school. Keep track and let Ms. Briggs know if you accomplished the goal by June 8 at 3:30 so it can be announced in the morning announcements on June 9.
Share your voice by using courage for the last 22 days!
