Our school proudly embraces Virtues in Practice, a program developed by the Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia.
Each month, we focus on a specific virtue using age-appropriate lessons. We discuss the virtue, as well as Saints who demonstrated that virtue, at our daily Morning Gathering and during class. We recognize and reward students who demonstrate these virtues.
