Kubera, the god of wealth, learned a tasty lesson about what it means to be generous. ***How have you practiced generosity this week?*** Maybe you volunteered at a local charity or donated old clothes or toys. Perhaps you left a book in a Little Free Library, or held the door open for a friend! Tell us your generosity story, and you could be featured on Lions and Legends! Grown-ups: record a 30-second voice memo of your kiddo describing how they practiced generosity, then email the audio to [email protected]. 🦁Thanks for being part of the Lions and Legends pride!

| 9/8/26 |  How the Honey Bees Got Their Sting: A Greek Fable | In this Greek fable, a queen bee's wish for sweet revenge comes back to sting her! 🦁Time for you to ROAR! Being unkind doesn’t just hurt others. As we learn in today’s story, it can hurt us too! Kindness can make the whole world a lot sweeter, so we want to know: **How have you practiced kindness recently?** Did you invite a new student to sit with you at lunch? Maybe you shared a favorite toy with a friend, or you gave a family member a warm, cozy hug. Find some paper and some crayons, markers, or colored pencils, then draw a picture of your kind act. When you’re done, we’d love to see your kindness superpowers at work!
