Catholic schools in the Diocese of Grand Rapids nurture the whole child, and that includes preparing students for a lifetime of faith. Stewardship is one way of living our faith, by glorifying God through the time, talent and treasure he has given to us.
From even a young age, students can practice stewardship, including in how they approach their schoolwork. Doing your best, being thankful for the opportunity of education, and using your time wisely are just a few ways students can be stewards.
The September issue of Stewardship News from the Diocese of Grand Rapids includes a list of ideas for stewardship at school; it can be read at this link. Consider sharing these ideas with your kids around the dinner table, during car trips or while relaxing together.
