Dear Families,
At Saint Leo the Great School we aim to help students increase their literacy and love for Scripture, and provide as many opportunities as possible to practice Godly living. This is why we've decided to introduce Friendzy this year; a whole-school program that teaches life skills to our students with an emphasis on building strong, healthy, and Godly friendships.
The Friendzy program provides simple, memorable ways for your student to learn and practice God's design for friendship. Every month we will introduce to the entire school campus one Catchphrase and one corresponding Key Verse for students to learn and practice. In class, we will spend 20 minutes weekly focusing on the Catchphrase and Key Verse with activities, games, and group discussions. With the help of Friendzy, students will get to learn from Scripture and from each other what it means to be a really good friend.
We hope that by providing students the opportunity to learn about and practice life skills like teamwork, self-management, responsible decision-making, goal setting, emotional literacy, and conflict resolution, students will have an increased capacity to reach and even surpass our rigorous academic goals. Most importantly, we believe that Friendzy will make the gospel message of Jesus come to life in a way that will increase each student's desire and ability to apply and live out God's word.
Every month expect a newsletter from me introducing the month’s Catchphrase and Key Verse as well as simple ideas for how you can continue the Friendzy at home. We are excited for this focus on friendship, and are glad to have our whole school family participating! When kids learn friendship, they learn it for life!
Here are the lesson for the remainder of the school year:
"Watch My Words"
"Friends Forgive"
"Friendship Is A Gift"
