The Counselor's Corner

In the corner of a book of Rosa Parks stamps is the word courage.

Our character education word for the week is courage.  Courage means to meet an ordeal, problem, anything painful, difficult or dangerous, without fear.

Courage in School Means:

1.  I will not be afraid to tell the truth.
2.  I will stand up for my friends when they are right.
3.  I will not be afraid to speak in front of the class.

Students listen to The Honest Thumb from Young People's Stories of Courage.

They also view Auto B Good DVD on Courage.  During Black History Month, we also look at three African Americans who showed courage:

Jackie Robinson

Fannie Lou Hamer

Doris "Dorie" Miller.

Quotable Quote:  "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face."
