Life Skill of the Week
This week, we are focusing on the life skill of charity—the act of giving selflessly to help others. Charity isn’t just about donating money or items; it’s about sharing our time, talents, and kindness with those in need. As Saints, we are called to serve others with open hearts, whether through acts of generosity, volunteering, or simply offering a helping hand. Let’s look for ways to practice charity in our school, homes, and community. Even the smallest act of giving can make a big impact!
