WEEK ONE: What is wisdom?
Wisdom, as we are discussing it this month, is a two-part proposition: figuring out the right thing, and then following through. But what does that mean for a teenager in 2024? How can today’s teenagers find out what to do, and then build the discipline to put that into action? This week is about what wisdom looks like (and doesn’t look like) in a teenager’s world.
We hope that everyone had a great first day of school!! We want to thank everyone for all their hard work put into making the first day back a success.
On a side note, please know that we are working through schedule changes as quickly as we can.
Can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow!
