Education in Virtue: Week of September 12th

Virtue of the Quarter: Prudence

Saint of the Week: Pope St. Gregory the Great

SEPTEMBER IS ATTENDANCE AWARENESS MONTH

TOP 10 REASONS TO BE IN SCHOOL EVERY DAY

1.    BETTER GRADES – The better your attendance, the higher your grades.

2.    LESS STRESS – When you miss school you have to learn skills on your own and make up the assignments. That’s stressful!!

3.    YOU LEARN MORE – Learning a little every day with the class is much better than having to learn everything on your own.

4.    GOOD HABITS – If you want to succeed in life, you have to develop good habits – like showing up every day, on time and prepared for the day.

5.    MORE LIKE TO GRADUATE – Students who have poor attendance are less likely to graduate.

6.    TIME WITH FRIENDS – When you are at school, you can spend time with your friends (and make new ones).

7.    MENTORS – School is full of people who can offer you advise and guidance. If you aren’t at school you won’t get a chance to develop these relationships – which means that you totally miss out.

8.    PREPARATION FOR FUTURE – Skills and knowledge learned in school = success in life.

9.    PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT – You learn more when you are in school. The more you learn the more intelligent, capable and interesting that you become.

10. PRIDE – It is a great feeling being in school and succeeding in classes. This makes for a happier teenager!!
