November's Core Virtues

STEWARDSHIP

This month we will be focusing on the virtue of STEWARDSHIP. Stewardship is caring well for the gifts given us – our life, our world, our talents, and those entrusted to our care. This month, demonstrate gratitude in your home and help your students recognize that they are stewards over many good things in their lives. Learning to have a grateful heart and be a good steward are skills that can change attitudes, behaviors and can foster great internal strength. If nothing else, they are stewards of themselves. They can determine their own actions. In the words of William Ernst Henley, "I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul."

Teacher Bios

My name is Kari Ouellette and I'm so excited for my next year here at Vanguard. I grew up in a small town in Conneticut, and graduated from Ohio State University with a major Early and Middle Childhood Studies and a minor in Disability Studies. In my spare time, I love to go hiking with my dog, Koda, and explore what Colorado has to offer.

My name is Alyssa Campbell, I am one of the three teachers on Team 3 at Vanguard Classical School. I graduated from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO with a Bachelor’s degree in Dance. I then received my Master’s of Arts in Teaching with a focus in Elementary Education from Metropolitan State University of Denver. When I'm not at school I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, teaching dance, and feeding the giraffes at the zoo. My husband and I also enjoy going to the dog park and cuddling with my adorable Golden-doodle puppy, Aspen.

My name is Mrs. Kim, and I love being a third grade teacher. I have worked at Vanguard Classical School for the last eight years. I spent five years teaching third grade and the last two years I taught kindergarten. I am back in third grade and so excited! I recently had a baby, and she is my pride and joy. On my time off, I like to spend time with my friends and family, go shopping, and do craft projects!

My name is Ms. Selena, and I am 3rd grade's EA. This is my second year at Vanguard Classical School and I am so happy to be here with all of the kiddos! I graduated high school in 2020 and hope to some day be a teacher. During my free time I love to go on walks with my two dogs, Pinto and Diego.
