United South Central School District

On January 10th, seventh-grade students participated in the Courage Retreat, a dynamic character-development experience designed to inspire and empower them. During the retreat, 11th-grade student volunteers helped lead small groups, guiding discussions and activities that encouraged personal growth, positive decision-making, and building resilience. The Courage Retreat® provides a fun and engaging atmosphere where students are challenged to reflect on their values, embrace their strengths, and develop the courage to make a positive impact on their lives and the lives of others. It was a day of learning, bonding, and growth, setting the stage for students to cultivate confidence and character as they continue their journey through middle school.
