Celebrate the Hero!

Hey Heroes!

We’re back with this week’s mission, but first we want know how last week’s mission went!  Remember to submit your stories to us at www.celebratethehero.com or to our twitter @cellythehero! As you know this month’s theme is “Choices”!  We encourage you to participate and choose to take part in this week’s mission!

Weekly Mission # 34

Live With Integrity

Integrity means being honest and having strong principles, and we know that our followers all have integrity! This week we want you to complete simple gestures because in your heart you know it’s the right thing to do- not just because we’ve asked you to. Some examples of what you can do this week is holding the door open for someone (or lots of people if that’s something that you do often!). You can offer to tutor someone in a subject you’re acing, practice with someone on your team who maybe needs to work on their skill or even sit with someone new each day at lunch so that everyone is included.  It’s really up to you; the choice is yours this week. It’s one thing to do something nice for recognition, but it’s so much more rewarding when you just do it just to see someone else smile.  We want you to make the choice to do something nice for a peer, a co-worker, a stranger, a family member, or a friend; because in your heart you know that it’s the right thing to do, not because other people are watching you. Be kind to one another, live your life with integrity, and we guarantee you can enhance the lives of others. 

“Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is watching”

Hello Heroes!

We’re back with another mission, but first we want to remind you that summer break is just around the corner! We want to take the time to extend our thanks to those of you who have submitted your Weekly Mission stories! Those of you who have forgotten to, can submit your Weekly Mission experiences to us at www.celebratethehero.com or on our twitter @cellythehero!  Keeping with our Monthly Theme of “Choices” we hope you take part in this week’s mission!
 
                                   Weekly Mission #33

                                    Believe In Yourself!

We at Celebrate the Hero, know that all of our followers are very passionate and driven people, working towards enhancing the lives of others. We want you to know that too! Self-confidence is something that takes practice, you have to choose to believe in your abilities! Everyone experiences doubt, but the important thing is to make sure that it never stops you from doing what you want to do. When you think you’ve gone as far as you can go, keep pushing. Great things can come from breaking out of your comfort zone. All you have to do is set a goal and follow through! This week we encourage you to push the envelope and do something you’ve always wanted to, or step up your game! When you’re writing your exams, or setting up to take a shot remember that you can do what you put your mind to! You’re in the position you’re in because other’s believe in you, all you have to do, is believe in yourself!

“Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities, work hard, and there is nothing you cannot accomplish.”

Hey Heroes!

We’re back with this week’s mission! We hope last week’s mission went well, and you can submit your stories to us at www.celebratethehero.com or on twitter @cellythehero. Keeping with May’s monthly theme of “Choices” we hope you choose to take part in this week’s mission.

Weekly Mission # 32

Learn From Your Mistakes

To err is human, as the old adage goes and we all definitely make mistakes! Mistakes create amazing learning opportunities and allow us to grow from each lesson. We hope that this week you are able to take accountability, and take steps to learn from each choice you’ve made in your life so far, good and bad! If there was a falling out between you and your friend, you can try to make amends by writing him, or her, a letter apologizing. If you failed a test, take steps such as studying, or asking for extra help from your teacher to ensure that you don’t fail the next one! We want you to know that it’s okay to make mistakes, but you also have to learn from them to help prevent history from repeating itself and making the same mistake twice, or more! Like any choice, this one is up to you, but we strongly encourage you to do what you can to learn from your mistakes, all it takes is admitting that a mistake was made and creating a plan to avoid it from happening again!

“Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.”

-Oscar Wilde

Hey Heroes!

We hope last week’s mission went well! You can tell us all about Going Green by submitting your school’s Earth Day Efforts to us on www.celebratethehero.com or on twitter @cellythehero! As we move into May, we want you to keep in mind that the Monthly Theme is “Choices”! You can make a “Choice” this week by taking part in this week’s mission!

Weekly Mission #31

LOL

Being positive is a choice! What better way to get involved in your own life, than choosing to be happy! This week, we want you to Laugh Out Loud when something makes you happy! Laughter is absolutely the best medicine, and it’s contagious! When you know someone is down, try cheering them up by telling jokes or funny stories that have happened to you! Love Out Loud; show everyone in your life that they mean so much to you! Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded that you’re needed, and your family and friends will really appreciate the small gestures you can do to show you care! You can Love Out Loud by showing people you don’t know kindness too! Ask your school to post Anti-Bullying posters around the school, or offer to help someone who is struggling in a class that you do well in! You can hold the door open for people at school, or wherever you go today! You can write positive messages on sticky notes and post them everywhere you go! No matter what you do make sure you Live Out Loud! You have the ability to make someone’s day brighter, and in turn make yours brighter as well, all you have to do is make that choice! Live every day to the fullest and you can enhance the lives of so many people, without even meaning to!

Hey Heroes!

We hope last week’s mission went well! You can submit your stories to us at www.celebratethehero.com or @cellythehero on twitter. As you already know this month’s theme is “Get Involved”, but Earth Day is also upon us! We challenge you to make this week Earth Week and participate in this week’s challenge!

Weekly Mission # 30

Go Green

How earth conscious are you on a regular basis? Well, this week we want you to up the ante! There is so much that we can do to be green, and we want you to get involved in helping to clean up our environment! Instead of buying a case of plastic water bottles, you can purchase a reusable filtered water bottle! Bring your old cellphones to any cellphone service providers so that they are able to dispose of the electronics safely. Switch your banking statements, cellphone, and internet bills to paperless to preserve paper! Turn off lights when you leave rooms to save electricity, and don’t leave taps running when you are not using the water! Another way you can Get Involved is by organizing a Trash Bash! You can gather a group of friends to host your own trash pick-up party, you can enlist your whole school, or you can initiate your whole town/city to participate in cleaning up our planet! Grab a few people, some garbage bags, gloves and help keep our planet clean and garbage free, and afterwards celebrate with your friends. You deserve it for putting forth an effort to be green! We hope that you have lots of ideas planned for how to participate in Earth Day, and don’t forget that you can continuously be conscious about these things, not just for one day but for the whole year!

“Out of all of those millions and millions of planets floating around in space, this is our planet, this is our little one. We’ve got to be aware of it and take care of it.”

Hello Heroes!

We’re back with another mission, but first how did last week’s mission go? You can submit your story to www.celebratethehero.com or tweet at us @cellythehero. As you all know, this month’s theme is “Get Involved” and we know that each of you are very eager to do your part for you community! We hope you share some of that enthusiasm for this week’s mission!

Weekly Mission # 29

Together We Can

We know that as individuals, you are all exceptional in your efforts to enhance the lives of others. Through recent missions, we have asked you to commit your time to helping out within your community, and committing to it! Now we want you to rally the troops and make a difference together! When it comes to community service, the more the merrier! Now that you know how much of a difference lending some of your time can make, share that feeling of accomplishment with your friends. There are so many positive benefits of being on a team, working towards one common goal and enhancing the lives of others. You can create a club at school to help end bullying, host a “trash bash” and pick up garbage in a local park, help develop a fundraiser for a not-for-profit agency in your community, or offer to mow lawns around town! It can even be as simple as making a trip to a senior’s residence once a month! We hope that you and your friends come up with unique activities for you to “Get Involved” in your community!

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

Hey Heroes,

Weekly Mission # 28

Volunteer

This week’s mission is so simple; all you have to do is set aside a certain amount of time from your busy schedule to become a part of something. You can volunteer your time to local organizations, school events, or clubs. You can volunteer to help a teacher, neighbour, or parent. Volunteerism can even include creating posters within your school supporting empowering initiatives. A lot of not-for-profit agencies rely on the volunteer base that they have. You can help support services in your community by allotting a certain amount of time a week. A little can go a long way, and all of your efforts are appreciated!

“Volunteers don’t just do the work, they make it work.”

Hello Heroes!

We’re back with another weekly mission! How did last week’s mission go? Submit your stories to www.celebratethehero.com or tweet us @cellythehero! Last week we encouraged you to walk the talk, and with this month’s theme being “Get Involved” we challenge you this week!

Weekly Mission 27

Give It Your All!

Last week’s challenge was to do what you said you wanted to do, or to commit to something. This week we want you to give it all you’ve got! When a task is only done half-heartedly it is easy to tell, this week’s mission gives you the opportunity to really work for it. The results may be better than you expected! If you wanted to try out for a team, practice beforehand so you know that you’re ready and feel confident in yourself! Is there an award you’ve always wanted to receive? The harder you work to reach your goal; the greater chance you have to succeed! If there’s a promotion at work that you’ve really wanted, you can finish each task you’re given to the best of your abilities, to really stand out! When you put your full effort into something it is very noticeable. Sometimes it is easy to settle for “good enough”, but we want you to push past that this week and show us the great things you are capable of! Give it your all.

If you want something you have never had, you have to do something you have never done before.

Hello Heroes!

Did last week’s mission go well for you? Let us know by tweeting us or submitting your story to www.celebratethehero.com! Keeping with this month’s theme, we want you to “Lead by Example” by taking part in this week’s mission!

                                            Weekly Mission 26

                                               Walk The Talk

It is one thing to say you’ll commit to something, but it’s a whole different ball game to follow through on your word! We know that with your busy schedules that it’s hard to fit in everything you’d like to do, but we challenge you to try, by taking part in this week’s mission! If you thought about trying out for a school play or sport, sign-up and follow through! Is there a test coming up, and you’ve been telling yourself all week that you have to study? Skip going out with your friends or watching TV and make sure you do everything you can to ace that test. Even if what you attempt to do isn’t successful, you will know that you gave it your all, and you can’t succeed without trying first! If there’s a fundraiser coming up, write down a goal amount that you’d like to raise and commit to it! The possibilities for this mission are endless, and there’s so much more validity in following-through on your word. If you say you want to do something, whether it is to someone else or if you’ve just been thinking about it to yourself, go for it! Lead the way and show others that you take accountability for what you say by taking part in this week’s mission and walking the talk!

“Most of us talk one way and live another. There are a few people who truly, truly walk the talk.”

Last week was Random Acts of Kindness week, what did you do to be a leader in your community? Tweet us to tell us all about it! As you know, this month’s theme is “Lead By Example” and that’s exactly what we want you to do with this week’s mission!

Weekly Mission # 25

Choose To Make A Difference

We, at Celebrate the Hero, know that all of our followers are Heroes! We know that each day you strive to make a positive difference, in a step to enhance the lives of others. We want you to keep on doing what you’re doing, but step it up a notch! We’re so proud of all of the e-mails and tweets we receive about organizations that schools are involved with, or fundraisers that businesses are helping to support. We hope that you take part in this week’s mission, and that you to choose to make a difference, and spark something great! It’s easy to say that you want to make a difference, but taking those first steps can be hard! Sign up for a club you know needs more members to keep it running, or create a new club or group at school that will help benefit your peers or community! You can start volunteering with an agency, or walking dogs at a local animal shelter! Small gestures can have great impacts too! If you notice that someone is mistreating a peer, alert a teacher. Hold the door for as manypeople as you can in one day, and try and beat your record the next! There are so many ways that you can choose to make a difference, and others will be motivated to make a difference too, you just have to lead by example!

Hey Heroes!

How did last week’s mission go?  You can send stories of your mission to www.celebratethehero.com.  Last week we told you that leaders propagate change, which inspired us here at Celebrate the Hero to make March’s theme “Lead by Example”!  We know each of you are leaders in your school and we hope you use that for this week’s mission.

Weekly Mission # 24

Inspire Through Words

Words often have a big impact, and we never realize just how powerful our words can be. Many speeches throughout history have bred some amazing civil movements.  Words are capable of lifting people up when they are feeling down, and they are capable of inspiring others to achieve their goals. This week we encourage you to use your words to inspire and lead in a positive way!  You can build confidence on your sports team by giving a pep-talk, talk your friend into trying out for a play or team that they’ve been talking about, or ask someone who looks upset if they’re okay. Remember heroes, it is easy to talk the talk, but we challenge you to be a true leader this week and walk what you talk; inspire someone through your words, but follow through with your actions.  Words can be used to lift somebody up or knock somebody down. You have a choice of how you use your words, we know that you’ll inspire some great things within your community!

A leader leads by example whether he intends to or not

-John Quincy Adams

Hey Heroes!

We’re back with another mission! How did last week’s mission go? You can submit all of your stories to www.celebratethehero.com. This week at the office we have been busy visiting various schools. We have completed our booklets with some classes, and began the activity with new classes. At the office we have been thinking of more ways to encourage all of our Heroes to “Be Courageous” which is this month’s theme! This week’s mission is going to take a lot of courage to complete!

Weekly Mission #23

Take A Stand

Standing up for what you believe in takes a lot of courage, we challenge you to plant your feet firmly into something you believe in.  You can alert your local MP about some suggestions you have for your community, or donate to a cause you feel strongly for. Right any wrong-doings that you have seen, if you know someone might get hurt, or feel uncomfortable about a situation going on around you, talk to someone! When you hear negative conversations, you can politely ask your peers to stop. There is no guarantee that they will, but you made a choice to do the right thing and stand up for what you believe in! Taking a stand can be really scary, but when one person stands up for what they believe in then more are sure to follow. There’s strength in numbers, and leaders propagate change!

“Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.”

-Abraham Lincoln

Hey Heroes!

How did last week’s mission go? Our hopes are that you were able to find a way to be courageous this past week. Let us know how you demonstrated courage at www.celebratethehero.com ! We have had a busy week here at Celebrate the Hero, travelling to many elementary and secondary schools across Ontario, and are looking forward to anotherbusy week next week! Here is this week’s mission:

Weekly Mission #22

Offer Support

This week we challenge you to offer support to someone who needs it. This may be anything from helping someone who needs a little extra help studying for a test, to someone who is currently going through a hardship in their life and needs someone to talk with. Offering support shows people that you care about them and how they feel. It also increases the likelihood that you will be offered support in the future when you need it. Whatever you are doing this week, make it your mission to offer support to anyone who may need it!

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough

to ask for it! –Unknown

Celebrate You, Celebrate the Hero

Hey Heroes!

Did last week’s mission go well? Submit your stories about how your week went to www.celebratethehero.com! There is lots going on at the office right now! The Celebrate the Hero team has been very busy this past week travelling to many different schools for presentations, follow ups, and meetings with student leaders.  Keeping with this month’s theme ‘Courage’ we hope that you’re feeling really brave for this week’s mission!

Weekly Mission # 21

Be Courageous

This week can be one of the most challenging missions; we encourage you to do whatever it is that you’ve been wanting to do. If you were waiting for a reason, or a sign, here is your chance! There are no limitations to what you can do with this mission, just do it! Self-doubt is one of the biggest factors that hold people back from doing what they love and this week we want you to break through that barrier and Be Courageous!

Have you always wanted to wear a shirt or outfit to school, but you were afraid what others might think? Go ahead and wear it with confidence! Try out for a new sports team, sign up for a class you’ve always wanted to take, or start a club.  You can even take this opportunity to stand up and say something you have always wanted to say to someone.

Courage is a trait that people don’t think they use that often, but the reality is, it is something we practice every day! It takes courage to try something new, wear something ‘different’, talk to someone new, and to make the right choices! We know that courage is something that you all show daily, that’s why you’re all Heroes, this is your time to shine! This mission is about you!Have the courage to do what you want and don’t let anyone hold you back, not even yourself!

“You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.”
