Building Better Brain Habits
We Begin by Teaching About Staff Sgt Reckless: America's War Horse
She earned two Purple Hearts and one was for a head wound. She had Marines who covered her in their flak Jackets to form a makeshift helmet. SSgt Reckless became a hero by using her brain and exemplifying the Marine Corps values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment made possible by her above-average brain. She wasn't a mare, she was a Marine.
We Challenge Students to Read 12 Minutes per Day and Wear Their Helmets!
We cover the importance of bloodflow to the brain through regular exercise, and mental processes like reading, and protecting our organ of behavior and thinking.
