Honesty

Honesty-seven letters of the alphabet create a word with enormous meaning.

Honesty-a small word with a powerful punch.

Honesty + Truthfulness = the way to live life.

Honesty is our character theme for the second quarter. Our Chapel speaker, Josh Cooper, last Thursday gave us a powerful challenge with this simple word… Honesty. When students make a mistake and are in the office with Mr. Mounce or me, it takes much courage for them to admit their wrongdoing.  We believe that when students make mistakes, admit them, and serve the consequence, they deserve a fresh start or a new beginning.  Each student deserves a chance for a fresh start.

“God has showed you, O man, what is good.  And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8

I encourage you to join me in adapting this as a life verse. If, as adults, we model justice, forgiveness, and humility, then our children are empowered to adopt these principles in their lives.  What a powerful impact our students, your children,  can have!
