The Importance of Stewardship
At Caprock Academy, we aim to nurture not just bright minds, but also students with strong character. Our October core virtue is Stewardship—caring responsibly for what has been entrusted to us. Whether it’s our environment, relationships, or personal talents, being a good steward means using our resources wisely and for the benefit of others.  When we help others not only do we help improve our environment, but we also enrich our own lives. 
 
Teaching Stewardship
From Kindergarten through 12th grade, we weave the principles of Stewardship into our daily activities. For younger students, it starts with learning to share and care for their classroom environment. As students grow, they take on projects that promote sustainability, community service, and responsible leadership. Through these efforts, we help them understand that Stewardship is not just an action but a mindset that will serve them throughout life.  This is just as important as the skills and knowledge learned in math or language arts classes. 
 
Beyond the Classroom
Stewardship extends to all parts of our lives. We encourage our students to practice it at home and in their communities—through volunteering, conserving resources, or helping others. Families can support this by modeling stewardship in everyday life, such as participating in community clean-ups or donating to causes.  This is not only seen on campus but throughout the Grand Valley.  It is part of what makes living in Grand Junction such a wonderful place to grow up and call home. 
 
Our Collective Responsibility
As we move forward this school year, let's each consider how we can be thoughtful stewards in our daily lives—whether at school, at home, or in the community. By working together to care for our resources, support one another, and give back, we can build a culture of kindness, responsibility, and service. Small actions, when multiplied, can lead to significant, positive change.  With that I ask everyone to say hello to someone today or thank them personally for how they positively impact your daily life. 
 
Thank you for being a part of this shared journey.
 
 
Sincerely,
