** Make Time for Gratitude
------------------------------------------------------------
Research ([link removed]) shows there is a strong connection between gratitude and well-being. Making time for gratitude in our daily lives is a simple way to support a climate of care at school and home. We want to express our sincere gratitude to everyone in the Challenge Success family who challenges narrow definitions of success and fosters learning environments that prioritize healthy, balanced, and engaged learners.

We are grateful for:
* The amazing educators, parents, and students we work with every day who are on the frontlines of making changes in their communities.
* Our incredible staff, board, and advisors who work tirelessly to promote our mission with more schools, families, and communities.
* Our generous donors who allow us to extend our reach and serve a diverse group of students.
* Our dedicated community of supporters, including newsletter subscribers and event attendees, who serve as ambassadors of our mission.

Reflections from Our Fall Fundraiser

“I could have listened to Kelly all day!”
— Fall Fundraiser Attendee

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our
Fall Fundraiser Luncheon with author Kelly Corrigan. We were moved to tears of laughter and tenderness as she shared stories from Tell Me More that made us reflect on what “matters most in life.” Our panelists, Denise Pope, Madeline Levine, and Michael Keller inspired us with how the Challenge Success school reform framework is dramatically changing the student experience.

Strategies to Support Student Well-Being and Engagement with Learning
Challenge Success ([link removed]) partners with schools, families, and communities to embrace a broad definition of success and to implement research-based strategies that promote student well-being and engagement with learning. We believe that our society has become too focused on grades, test scores, and performance, leaving little time for kids to develop the skills necessary to become independent, resilient, and ethical individuals.
