BACK2SCHOOL | Make Your Mark

Dear parents,

This week we tackled the third topic in our back-to-school series. We discussed the fact that each of us were created, and uniquely gifted, to make a difference in the world around us—to make a mark!

Because this series is focusing on starting the new school year strong, we discussed ways our teenagers can make a mark at school this year, ways they can have a lasting impact.

This week, look for a chance to talk with your teenager for a few minutes about our conversation. Here are some questions that can fuel the discussion:

• Tell me about a time you saw someone step up and do something that made a positive difference to other people—or maybe a time that you did that.
• What are some ways you’ve used your God-given gifts and abilities to help others?

• As you pray about making a difference at school this year, how can I help you?

Thanks for your prayers and support. I am praying for you, too!
