Virtue of the Month

This year Saint James School will be acknowledging our students who show great character through our “Virtue of the Month” program. Each month, a new virtue will be focused upon and explored during religion class. During the month of October, our students have been learning about the virtue of Gratitude. Students have written about what gratitude means to them, explored things they are thankful for, and have learned about ways they can show their gratitude both in and out of school.

Below is a picture of the students (who were at present for Rosary on Wednesday morning) who received the Gratitude award. Way to go SABERS!  The Virtue of the Month for November is Peace.
