COURAGE
Children will understand courage is in action and we probably felt very good about what we did.  And we should! And understand courage shows up in many ways all around us.  Courage is standing up for a friend, helping someone in need or sticking with something that is hard for us to do.  As a young person, courage is one of the most important things we can develop.  Having courage makes us a better person, a better student and a better citizen.
