Mission Montessori MUSTANG Code March focus:
COURAGE
COURAGE: 
Courage Courage can take many forms. It encompasses moral courage and physical courage. Nelson Mandela said that “Courage is not the absence of fear but the triumph over it.” Courage can be exemplified in taking a risk or taking a first step even if you cannot predict the outcome. To be courageous is also to find the inner strength to stand up for your beliefs, values and morals even when others try to influence you to change. Each person has an inner voice but often peers and outside influences like social media dim our inner voice. The best advice is to be the individual you choose to be, follow your own path, complete your own journey, overcome a fear and act in ways that support your values, morals and virtues. In doing so, you will be displaying courage.
Mustangs show COURAGE by:
  • being honest
  • trying new activities
  • accepting yourself for who you are
  • helping others try new things
Mustangs show THESE types of COURAGE:
  • Intellectual Courage
  • Physical Courage
  • Social Courage
  • Moral Courage
  • Spiritual Courage
  • Emotional Courage
Teachers and staff members will be emphasizing courage throughout the month of January, February and now March. Students who demonstrate "COURAGE" will be acknowledged during the assembly on March 31
and given a Mustang Code "COURAGE" bracelet.

2022 Tax Credit Campaign
There is still time to complete your tax credit prior to filing your 2022 taxes as long as you do it prior to April 15, 2023. Many thanks to the 103 Mission families, staff and friends who have contributed their 2022 Public/Charter School tax credit to Mission Montessori. If you have not contributed your 2022 Tax Credit don't worry, you still have time. Our Specials classes and very Special Teachers rely on this funding. Without these contributions, these classes would not be possible. It's easy and free! Simply contribute up to $400 (married filer) or $200 (single filer) and then take the credit when you file your 2022 state taxes and get your money back. Every dollar supports our Mission Montessori students!
