Capturing Kids' Hearts - CKH
What is Courage?
Courage is the ability and strength to face something that may be difficult or challenging. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather perseverance in the presence of fear and the willingness to stand up for what is right or try something new even though it may be uncomfortable or uncertain.







Students who qualify for free or reduced lunch must enroll each year. The deadline is Sept. 30th
