Each school year my kids create class creeds in their classes. They memorize and recite it often. I’m always so proud to hear what it is each year and to hear them share it with gusto and heart. Be still my heart. 
This year my fourth graders brought this home. (I have two fourth graders – same class) Harrison couldn’t wait to share it with me and as he read it to me, a couple lines really stood out. 

“Each one of us will help one another by using the freedom that we have” 

“We will build each other’s confidence by being respectful”

In our world right now freedoms and respect seem all to quickly to be on their way to being replaced with entitlement and self serving. 

Personal freedoms, religious freedoms… in the land of free are under attack. And in turn so is being respectful.

Can you even imagine what our world would be like if even for a day we followed this creed created by nine and ten year old students along with their amazing teacher?
