Capturing Kids Hearts

December's theme is Responsibility

December's theme is Responsibility

This month students will be learning and practicing responsibility through their Capturing Kids Hearts Leadworthy lessons. According to CKH, responsibility is the willingness and ability to take ownership of our thoughts, words, and actions. We have a responsibility to our school, family, and community to be accountable for our choices and how they impact ourselves and others.
