What Makes a Hero?
- a pondering cat

This month's theme is hopefully quite inspiring and uplifting -Heroes & Heroines. We all have our own heroes and heroines in our lives and they take on all sorts of shapes and forms. Be they animated or literary, Muggle or Wix, some we are close to or someone we've never met before -they still inspire us and motivate us to keep on keeping on.

We ask that you take a moment to stop and think about what makes a hero/heroine. What qualities do you think they should possess? What good deeds do you feel that they should do? No quiz or essay here, just some simple self-reflection. Once you finish that, you can move on to our task this month.

Your task this month is to complete the cryptogram found below. It can be digitally written into the picture or simply typed out on the computer/device. Please note, however, that being a cryptogram, NO spelling errors will be allowed. So please make sure that you fill the puzzle out properly and completely!
