Good to be Honest

At Cassidy's school they make it a priority to focus on core virtues, such as: Respect, Integrity, Generosity, Compassion, Courage, Responsibility, Gratitude, Honesty, Perseverance, & Faithfulness. Every month they focus on one virtue that entire month. Each teacher nominates a student in their class that has shown an example of that virtue.

Cassidy was nominated in January for Honesty. It was very exciting! Near the front office they have a "Student of the Month" board with a picture of each student from every class honored for the month. The kids have a little questionnaire that they fill out. Like what's your favorite book? What's your favorite activity? What's your favorite subject in school? Who's your hero and why? On the board as well.

The school also has a "Student of the Month" lunch spotlighting each of the nominees. The parents are invited too for the special occasion. Derek was able to leave work and be there also. Cassidy really enjoyed the cookie treat they gave her and shared it with us. She was kind of shy to stand up when they called her name while all the kids and parents cheered. We are so proud of Cassidy and that she lives her life with honesty.

Oh and Kaley her doll was there too!
