At our house meeting yesterday, students were learning about the power of perseverance.

We want students to be able to answer the following question - How can I persevere when I am faced with a challenge?

We want our students to realize that although they may struggle sometimes in life, with practice, dedication, and support THEY CAN AND WILL grow to meet their goals!

Ask your child to tell you about the meeting and what they learned!
