Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.

Afternoon Ethos Tuesday, September 6, 2016 Good Afternoon!
What is Ethos you might ask?
Ethos is a Greek word meaning "character" that is used to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology.
Morning Ethos allows our classroom to set a positive tone for the day, to learn of recent student accomplishments, to hear announcements, to start the day with an inspirational message, to present a common and unified message, and to experience a sense of community. The experiences that we will share in Ethos are lessons in empathy and compassion. Through Ethos, our class will see powerful messages to help us open our eyes to the different challenges that we face. We will applaud the successes that our classmates have sports teams and clubs in and out of school, we will celebrate birthdays, we will mourn losses whether to our community or the outside world, and we will share our viewpoints. We will study the 8 Student Aspirations (Belonging, Heroes Curiosity & Creativity, Spirit of Adventure, Sense of Accomplishment, Leadership and Responsibility, Fun and Excitement and Confidence to take Action) throughout the year via our Morning Ethos. Everything is awesome...
