This year, our school theme is I AM MORE. This trimester the students are learning about EMPATHY. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. It is the act of putting yourself in someone else's shoes and showing compassion to someone who needs your support. We want all SJS CAVS to be empathetic!
