Forms for In-line skating went home yesterday, which outlines the program that will take place at our school March 10 -14. Thank you to those parents who have returned the forms along with the $10 per child (maximum $20 per family). If you have any questions regarding the program, please contact Mrs. Traquair. 

If you are unable to provide the fee, please contact the office to make special arrangements. Students are encouraged to bring their own helmet, if they have one. Do not feel obligated to go buy one, as the required equipment is provided for all who participate.

March Virtue: Honesty

We have a new virtue this month! Being honest is being open, trustworthy and truthful. When people are honest they can be relied on not to lie, cheat or steal. Honesty is telling the truth. It is admitting mistakes even when you know someone might be angry or disappointed. Being honest means that you don't pretend to be something you are not. Honesty is important because it builds trust. 

This afternoon we had a very lengthy discussion about lying and how we all must be honest with each other. Please ask your child: When should you be honest with someone? Should you ever tell a lie?
