As we wrap up the year, we want to take a moment to thank each of you for your hard work, dedication, and support throughout this season.

We hope your winter break is filled with joy, relaxation, and quality time with loved ones. Whether you’re enjoying festive traditions, cozying up with a good book, or simply taking time to recharge, may this holiday season bring you happiness and peace.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for the new year!

SAY IT:

Service: Lending a hand to help someone else

KNOW IT:

ASK A GROWN-UP:

• Describe a service project you participated in as a kid or teenager.

• What are some ways you would be interested in serving our community now?

ASK A KID:

• What are some ways you would like to see us serve in our community?

• Do you know of any service projects or clubs at your school you could get involved in?

SEE IT:

Sometimes the key to serving others is to remember a time when someone lent a hand

to help us instead. Remember a time when you needed a helping hand? Maybe you were

feeling sick, or couldn’t do something all by yourself, or maybe you didn’t know how to do

something in school. We can all relate to a time when we needed someone to help us out.

Check out this read aloud on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svHkcJWr6mo

and remember how you’ve been helped in the past so you can help others now!

BE IT:

Make a list of service project ideas and people in your community you can serve. You may

want to reach out to some local non-profit organizations to see how and when you can serve

with their organization. Take the first step and schedule an outreach project in December.

Start small and see how you can make a positive difference in the world, one service project

at a time.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns about reality check puberty talk coming to our school on Monday
