Congratulations to our February Virtues in Practice recipients! Here’s how Carrie Armstrong and Kaylin Tate modeled Honesty (being trustworthy and true):
“ Carrie was honest with me, even though it was hard for her to tell the truth because it meant she could be in trouble—she still told the truth.” –Mrs. Cope
“ Kaylin is one of the two students preparing for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist this year . She always listens—is prayerful and contributes to our discussions in Religion class. She is always honest with me and the other students.” –Mrs. Brinson
The March virtue is Mercy (caring for those who suffer).
Please consider sending your child(ren) to Camp Ranchero Framasa this summer. This camp is a Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) event in Nashville, Indiana, for children ages 7-19.
