Principal’s Corner:

Courage is moral strength in the face of danger. Courage is a virtue when we choose the right decision even when that choice is difficult. Courage can help us in facing physical pain, or hardship. Moral courage helps us choose well even when faced with discouragement, opposition, or peer pressure. Courage is what allows us to accept difficult changes or to make changes in our lives, especially getting rid of patterns that are harmful to us.

Dear God, please give me strength when I am weak, love when I feel forsaken, courage when I am afraid, wisdom when I feel foolish, comfort when I am alone, hope when I feel rejected, and peace when I am in turmoil. Amen.
