Dear Parent or Guardian:

This week we are studying the character trait of courage.

The definition of courage is:

 

the ability to overcome fear.

Assisting each student to reach his or her full potential is one of our goals as educators. In order to reach their full potential, students must be courageous and overcome their fears. As they become aware of how they can overcome their fears, they will experience the joy of success during their academic career and well into the future.

We welcome your participation in this endeavor. We offer the following ideas for you and your teenager to work on together:

Share some of the fears you experienced as a teenager and how you conquered them.

Encourage your youngster to share his or her own fears. Discuss possible reasons why this emotion may exist and ways to confront it.

Discuss various proverbs which inspire us to overcome our fears such as Franklin D. Roosevelt's statement upon taking office at one of the worst points in the Great Depression: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Another example is "It's not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves," by Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to climb Mount Everest.

Discuss national or local events that have taken place recently and how those involved experienced triumph by being courageous.

"All our dreams can come true—if we have the courage to pursue them."
—Dr. Alexa Canady

Sincerely,

Madison Central Faculty
