SportsLeader Virtue of the Week
|
One pillar of the SportsLeader program is a weekly virtue that we incorporate into our athletic practices and throughout our school community. Every week, we will share them here to encourage the students to take the virtue into their homes as well!
Our virtue this week is HONESTY - The strength to tell the truth even when it would be easier to lie. An HONEST person is a treasure and a blessing. A liar you can never count on.
