Congratulations to our October Virtues in Practice recipients! These students represented Saint Lawrence Catholic School proudly by modeling Friendship (Sharing a mutual love that seeks the good of the other).
Oakley York-Grade K
“During playtime, Oakley noticed a student was looking to see if there were any iPads available. When she saw that there were none, she offered hers. This is just one of many examples of when Oakley has shown what it means to be a kind friend” –Mrs. McKinley
Gabby Archer-Grade 1
“Gabby has developed a new friendship with a second grade student that has been very good for both of them. She often checks in with the other student during the day to see if she needs any help. Gabby is very caring about how her friend is doing in school and whether she is making good choices. It is very clear that she only wants her friend to be the best she can be” –Miss McGarvey
Our November virtue is Courtesy (Being thoughtful of others).
