🦅 PETERSBURG OPEN-MINDED CHALLENGE — WEEKEND WRAP-UP!
That is a wrap on our Open-Minded week! Our Stedman Eagles spent the week practicing curiosity, wondering about the world, and asking great questions.
PETERSBURG COMMUNITY FOCUS: This weekend, keep an eye out for open-mindedness in action! Whether you are visiting a local shop, walking down by the harbor, or chatting with a neighbor, notice how our community listens, learns, and stays curious together.
Thank you for unlocking your minds with us. Get ready to rock a brand-new ROCC trait on Monday!

Thursday, Sept 10 — DAY 3: I ASK QUESTIONS!
🦅 PETERSBURG OPEN-MINDED CHALLENGE — DAY 3: I ASK QUESTIONS!
This week, Stedman students are learning about being OPEN-MINDED, and we’re challenging all of Petersburg to join us!
TODAY’S CHALLENGE: Ask someone a question to understand their perspective or a topic you don't know much about. Try:
■ “What is your favorite family tradition?”
■ “How did you learn how to do that?”
■ “Can you tell me more about your hobby?”
Asking questions builds bridges and helps us understand and appreciate everyone in our community.

Wednesday, Sept 9 — DAY 2: I WONDER!
🦅 PETERSBURG OPEN-MINDED CHALLENGE — DAY 2: I WONDER!
This week, Stedman students are learning about being OPEN-MINDED, and we’re challenging all of Petersburg to join us!
TODAY’S CHALLENGE: Look at the world around you and wonder about something out loud with a student. Try:
■ “I wonder how that machine works?”
■ “I wonder why the leaves change color now?”
■ “I wonder what it’s like to live in a different place?”
Wondering opens our minds to new possibilities and keeps us learning every single day.
