Reminder: Virtues Beyond The Classroom

/in /by

The new Virtue of the Month is Truthfulness.  We’d love for you to share how your family is practicing this virtue at home.  All students are receiving “virtue slips” to bring home throughout the month.  Whenever someone in your family displays Truthfulness, please fill out a slip and send it into school.  We are collecting slips in a jar in the main office.  At the end of the month we’d love to have a jar overflowing with examples of Truthfulness from all our families!
