FROM MRS. MUNSON
This week discuss with your student: “Integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one is looking.” Integrity is an important life skill to have; it impacts our reputation and builds a strong sense of self. We can continue to build our integrity over time by making choices that align with our core values and taking responsibility for our actions. Here are a couple articles with more information:
