At the Warm Springs K through 8 Academy students focus on a different character trait each month.  This month they are focused on “Courage.”  Courage is choosing to face a challenge or uncertainty.  You can show courage by speaking up when someone says something unkind about a friend.  You can show courage by trying again when you fail.  You can take responsibility for your actions and be an up-stander when you see bullying. Adults can role model these actions as well.
