A Core Values story from Mr. Leland:
I can remember how terrifying it was to talk with my teachers in school–especially teachers that I loved and respected. The more you look up to someone the more you can fear disappointing them or letting them down, and it takes a great deal of courage to confront a teacher if some conflict arises. Most students run to their parents and complain to them, rather than following the pattern laid out for us in the Scriptures and talking to the person who has offended them. Recently, a student came to me with a complaint about something that had happened in our class that had bothered her; and though she was scared to do so, she took courage, came to me with her concern and talked with me about it. We wept together, asked forgiveness and forgave each other for our failures, and parted with a deeper love than before. This young woman’s humility, courage, repentance, love, forgiveness and resolve absolutely blew me away, and reminded me once more that the students that I teach are indeed helping me to work out my salvation with fear and trembling. I am so proud of this young lady, and I hope to imitate her when I am put into similar circumstances.

As you can see/read, we are trying something new with our core values postings. Please let us know what you think about it and if you have other ideas for how we can best share the examples of how our students are demonstrating the CCS core values each week.
