Inspiration cannot come from one's self; it takes a community to inspire students to accomplish great things. One way we are encouraging students is by providing inspirational speakers for each of our Core Commitments.
Today, grades 3-12 heard a speaker who addressed the Core Commitment of “caring.” Our guest started a non-profit organization (Evangeline International) that provides wells and water protection to people in Ethiopia. Her inspirational story encouraged our students to look for ways to make the world a better place.
In November, we had our first SPA talk that focused on the Core Commitment of “engagement.” Brandon Nelson, a Guinness book record-holder, inspired students to push themselves, and work hard to reach their goals.
Throughout the year, we will be inviting more guests to foster student enthusiasm for achieving our Core Commitments. Parents are always welcome to attend.
What better way to model caring, reflecting, creating, and engaging than to have real life people share their real life lessons and experiences? Inspiring students is something we strive to do in whatever way possible.
