BLS helping Lighthouse Shelter

This morning a group of Balanced Life Skills parents and students got together and prepared lunches for the clients of the LIghthouse Shelter.  We finished so fast that when some folks arrived the work was already done and the lunches were delivered.  The spirit of giving of our time, talents and resources is strong in our school.  In talked about charity in the month of August and are following it up with discussions on Leadership in September. 

Leadership is when we take an idea or a cause that we are interested in and engage others to achieve a common goal.   I was so happy that some of the volunteers this morning suggested that we should help out with lunches for those in need more often.  I believe that we will be able to do accomplish this goal with the action of our students and parents. 

If you would like to share in this work, email Balanced Life Skills and lets see if we can schedule a time, once a month, to assist those in our community who need our help.  Thanks to our helpers this morning for the quick work you made of our project this morning.

Charity: definition

Each month we define and discuss a word of character development with all of our students.  This month the word is Charity.  It will be defined this way.

Young students:  Charity means: “I give to people, places or things in need!”

Older students:  Charity means:  Giving to those in need without expecting anything in return.

If you would like to see how we will deal with this subject with our students please follow our discussions here during the month of August.
