VIRTUES PROGRAM 2011-2012

As the school year goes by the St. Christopher School community will work together and grow together.  We'll become an even greater school.  We'll try to be come a more virtuous school and ultimately a safer school.

A virtue is a habit or established capability to perform good actions according to a moral standard.  In, other words, a virtue is a habit that shows people and God that I am a good person.

Each month we will look at developing one of these virtues:

FAITH

RESPECT

EMPATHY

KINDNESS

CONSCIENCE

LOVE

HOPE

ACCEPTANCE

SELF-CONTROL

FAIRNESS

We'll pray about these virtues, we'll talk about them in the classroom and we'll practice them in the hallways and in the schoolyard.  We will make the effort to treat other students and the adults in our school according to these virtues.  And we will celebrate the progress we make to be a more virtuous Catholic school-a place of safety, caring and inclusivity for all.
