Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn’t know it so it goes on flying anyway. ~ Mary Kay Ash

Greetings Goshen Lane Families,

Ever witnessed a student accomplishing what the world said he or she could not, like a bumble bee taking flight? With encouragement, some young people take flight despite the challenges they face. In the middle of the word encouragement stands the word courage. When we encourage young people, we literally pour courage into them, prompting some heartfelt action toward their fuller potential, helping them fly even when the odds are stacked against them. To encourage means to hearten, embolden, inspire, advocate, and enliven. Encouragement is a gift we give our students, an act of generosity. And when we encourage them, we ourselves are heartened.

With something to think about . . .
