Welcome, Agents of UT Elementary!

Welcome to our first new class of Agents to graduate from Courage in Action training this year!

We’re excited to learn more about your missions:

The Pokémon GO Safety Team plans  to perform a skit and make posters to share with students how to safely play Pokémon Go.

The Ending Police Violence Team plans to do research to learn more about the Austin Police Department, and ways to help everyone stay safe.

The Respect for Immigrants team is planning to share immigrant stories, and write letters to leaders who can make a difference.

The Stop Child Abuse team plans to raise awareness about who young people can reach out to for help if they are being hurt or abused.

Good luck!  Keep in touch!  We look forward to seeing you again when we visit UT Elementary to help you evaluate your success!

Missions in Progress at Mathews Elementary

Agent 89 had a wonderful visit to the Agents at Mathews Elementary!

You can hear more about their mission to save the bees here, and get inspired by “Save the Bees!” chants here and here.

The Mathews Agents also recorded some words of encouragement for all Agents out there who may be struggling to keep going on their missions!  Listen here!

Agents of Mathews Elementary, your courage inspires us!  We can’t wait to see what action you take in Agent McGuire’s class to fight hunger/poverty, and to help protect the declining bee population around the world!  Agent Rackowitz’s class, we look forward to learning more about your missions to end racism amongst police, and to end animal abuse.
