SURVEY OF MILITARY FAMILIES
The Arkansas Council for Military Children surveys military families in Arkansas annually to assess areas of need and to determine the general level of awareness of resources available to military families. The survey is completely anonymous; no personally identifiable information will be collected. The survey will be open to receive responses through February 14, 2025.
CKH WORD OF THE MONTH ~ RESPECT
What is Respect?
Respect is the willingness and ability to act professionally and thoughtfully with ourselves and others. Leaders can deal respectfully with opposition and provide space for both dignity and differences to coexist.
Our CKH Reception for Responsibility was postponed last week due to the weather and will now be held this Friday, January 17th. Nominated students and their parents will be notified soon.
Why focus on Respect?
- Respect decreases conflict. Respect helps us, and others, to be able to express ourselves without fear of being judged, humiliated, or discriminated against.
Respect in Action:
- Create opportunities for group decision-making. Open dialogue engages students in a process where compromise is crucial to making decisions.
