ROAR Friday

On Task — the House of Givers!

Today’s ROAR value is ON TASK — focusing and finishing what you start. Our house is Altruismo, the House of Givers. Fall is harvest season, when people gather what they’ve grown and share it — a perfect fit.

Today’s ROAR letter is O — On Task! And our house is Altruismo, the black House of Givers. Look at their crest!

The Altruismo house crest

The crest of Altruismo — can you find the heart?

Four things a child can give: a smile, a turn, a helping hand, attention
Let’s talk
  • Look closely at the crest. What shapes and animals do you see?
  • What does being “on task” look like right now in morning meeting?
  • Givers help others. What is one thing you could GIVE today — a smile, a turn, a helping hand?
Lion Trivia

The heart sits at the very top of the Altruismo crest. Why do you think the heart goes on top?

Reveal the answerHide the answer
Because the heart is where kindness and generosity are born — and for Givers, that comes first, above everything else!

Today’s ROAR value is On Task. Our house is Altruismo, the House of Givers, rooted in Brazilian heritage. Its belief: real power comes not from looking out for yourself, but from empowering others.

The Altruismo house crest

Every symbol on the crest carries a meaning.

Planting, growing, and sharing a harvest
Let’s talk
  • How is staying on task actually a gift to your group? Who does it affect besides you?
  • Altruismo’s color is black because black contains all other colors — representing empowering everyone. What does that idea mean to you?
  • Fall is harvest season. What’s something you’ve “grown” this quarter that you could share with others?
Lion Trivia

Find the creature on the crest with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. What is it called?

Reveal the answerHide the answer
A griffin — a legendary guardian, combining the king of beasts with the king of birds.
