Initiative
The character value for the month of September is INITIATIVE, which means "seeing what needs to be done and doing it." On the morning announcements we have been explaining to students that someone with initiative sees a need and jumps right in to help without being asked.
To reinforce this character trait at home, discuss the term "go getter" with your child(ren) and ask them what they can do to earn this title. Then as a family, sit down and discuss things that need to be done at home. Examples may include home improvements, cleaning out closets and donating old clothes and shoes, fixing car problems, resolving relationship issues, etc. Make a goal each week to identify a need and do something about it.
Be a Scout!!!
A note from our local Cub Scout Troop!!!
Kindergarten to 5th graders are welcomed to join in the fun and exciting activities such as Camping, Rocket Launching, Games, Skits, and more that will help them learn skills and lessons aligned with our Scout Law:
A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent
We meet monthly at the Walden Community Church, next door to Madeley Ranch Elementary, and we have activities scheduled throughout the year to build upon these principles while having lots of fun along the way. The Cub Scouting program is very family focused, and siblings along with parents are allowed and encouraged to participate in everything we do.
Do not be concerned if your new scout/family does not have much, or any, camping or outdoor experience. We have lots of experienced scouts and leadership that can help get you started.
There is a New Parent Meeting scheduled soon for parents to learn about our organization, what we do, who we are, and to ask all the questions you may have.
