We need to recognize and honour the people in our lives that are there for us—supporting, caring, & cheering us on! impactsociety.com

“I want to use programs that are really going to make a difference for my students, not just inspire and entertain short term. I want to be a part of a strength-based school culture in my school and inspire not just my students, but also others around me.” —Educator

Interesting that the first of the 7 Sacred Teaching’s is LOVE. When love prevails, there is peace, understanding, compassion and healing. May our lives be marked with it. ❤️

Today we are reflecting on how grateful we are for the opportunities we get, the stories we get to hear, the passionate people and organizations we are introduced to, and most importantly, we are thankful for our supporters. Thanks for believing in all that we do!

It is always good to remind ourselves that we are all equal—each of us being as important and valuable as the person next to us. When we understand our value, we can then cultivate a life of HUMILITY—putting the needs of others ahead of our own.

“I can see that HEROES and other Impact Society programs will help to set my child up for living a more purposeful life and making wise choices at school, with friends, in our family and for life. I am thankful for the positive impact on our family." — Parent of HEROES Student

COURAGE is being able to admit when we are wrong. It also allows us to face our fears, the skeletons in our closet and the monkeys on our back—looking at ourselves emotionally, mentally, physically & spiritually.

We value the businesses that understand the importance in investing in our young people. They understand that building a solid foundation today, makes for better employees tomorrow! To support any of our programs, visit impactsociety.com and hit the DONATE button.

“All life is sacred. We come into life as sacred beings. When we abuse the sacredness of life, we affect all creation.” — Chief Arvol Looking Horse, Keeper of Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe

If you have never heard our fearless leader speak, you are missing out! Jack Toth is passionate about what he does, and it shows in every story he tells, his wisdom when he speaks, the encouraging words he gives, and his vulnerability as he shares his life’s journey.

WISDOM is the ability to use our knowledge and life’s experiences (both the positive and negative) to make good decisions and judgments. It is an attribute that is available to all of us, no matter our age! impactsociety.com

Just like a tree’s health is determined by its root system—our emotional, mental, physical & spiritual health is determined by what principles we are rooted in. To live, walk and stand in our own truth, we must understand and embrace the 7 Sacred Teachings.

We love this MOODOMETER that was crafted by teachers & students within one of the schools that HEROES is taught in. It gives the students a chance to evaluate how they are feeling and express it. Inspired by the book Leon and the Champion Chip by Allen Kurzweil.

HEROES students responded with: •Having confidence •Believing in self •Not giving up on life •Going to school/college/university/work •Having a growth mindset •Knowing you have gifts & abilities •Hard work •Persevering •Being optimistic •Achieving goals

We CANNOT begin to use the negative words we have heard from others back on ourselves. If we do, we are allowing ourselves to think the words must be true. We need to say boldly and confidently that THEY WERE WRONG and replace those negative words with the truth.
