THE VOYAGE  
As we continue our unit on honesty, we hope that truth is a focal point in your family. As a reminder, honesty is being truthful in all situations. We want children to know that no matter what happens, they need to put truth first. Here's this week's action point: "Honesty is always being truthful to yourself."
