On Friday, we found out that Ava was selected as the 4th grader that best demonstrated the character trait of the month: courageous. Doulos focuses on six codes of character throughout the year as part of the work to truly develop disciples of Christ. For the trait of courageous, Doulos emphasizes, “We risk doing what is right and good when faced with challenges big or small. (The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, but the righteous are bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1)”
Ms. Johnson, Ava’s 4th grade teacher specifically stated, “Ava has been so courageous in live class by speaking and sharing out in front of the class. Being new to Doulos this year, she has done such a good job by participating and reaching out to the other students online.”
Ava received her award at our monthly school-wide celebration, Revolution. We are so proud of the courageous actions that Ava has engaged in and the witness she is to her classmates. She has truly embodied great courage throughout our entire transition and we pray that she will use this same courageous spirit to pursue Christ throughout her life.
