Our theme for this school year is GROWTH: We use this as an acronym for highlighting the characteristics of: Gratitude, Respect, Open-Minded, Willingness to Learn, Teamwork, Honesty.

This month we will focus on Honesty: We believe in the power of honesty to build strong character and create a positive community. Honesty means telling the truth, even when it’s difficult, and always doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. As we focus on the theme of honesty, we want to share some simple examples of opportunities for elementary students to practice honesty in their daily lives:

1. In the classroom: When a teacher asks a question, raise your hand and share your honest answer, even if you’re not sure it’s correct. Your honesty helps everyone learn and grow together.

2. During tests or quizzes: Always do your own work and never copy from someone else’s paper. Your teacher trusts you to show what you know, and being honest ensures that your grades reflect your own effort and understanding.

3. Playing games with friends: Whether it’s on the playground or during indoor recess, always play fair and follow the rules of the game. Being honest about scores, turns, and following the rules shows respect for your friends and makes the game more fun for everyone.

4. Sharing with siblings or friends: If you accidentally break something or make a mess while playing with toys or sharing snacks, be honest about what happened. Taking responsibility for your actions and being truthful with others helps build trust and strengthens your friendships.

5. Following school rules: Listen to your teachers and follow school rules, even when no one is watching. Being honest means doing the right thing even when it’s not easy, like picking up trash on the playground or helping a classmate in need.

6. Together, we can help our students grow into honest, responsible individuals who make positive contributions to our school and community.
