Do we have themes for the 2025-2026 school year?

Yes, we have monthly themes and an overarching annual theme! Our Advisors are a creative bunch, and we like to spark inspiration through monthly themes, which we incorporate into our monthly newsletters, activity guides, and social media posts. Ahead of the 2025-2026 school year, we updated the monthly themes to align better with mental health observances, suicide prevention observances, and our annual Hope Week. Here’s a list for this year:

  1. August: Resilience
  2. September: Connection
  3. October: Kindness
  4. November: Gratitude
  5. December: Generosity
  6. January: Optimism
  7. February: Hope
  8. March: Inclusivity
  9. April: Mindfulness
  10. May: Courage
  11. June: Change
  12. July: Forgiveness
Additionally, we ask you to vote on your favorite annual theme every year. For the 2025-2026 school year, you picked "Together We Thrive" by a landslide, which was inspired by our first-ever National Advisor Conference. You can look forward to the annual theme announcement every year in our May newsletter.

We’ll use this theme in several ways throughout the year, so please visit the Annual Theme section on our Community Engagement page to learn more.
