VIRTUE OF THE MONTH
This month our virtue is friendliness. What an excellent virtue to begin the year. It is a virtue that can easily engage students of all grades and it will help set the tone for the year. As we explore the virtue of friendliness with our students we are reminded of our call as Christians to uphold the dignity of the human spirit in all we encounter.

When even his father, the leader of the herd, blames him for the lack of rain and the subsequent death of his mother, the outcast zebra leaves the confines of his home knowing that he cannot survive in the herd without all his stripes.
