Virtues to Live By
Each week in celebration assembly, a child who has shown that they have lived the current virtue receives special recognition.
Our current Virtue to Live By is: Kindness - I know that every act of kindness helps build God's kingdom.
"Never neglect to show kindness and to share what you have with others." (Hebrews 13:16)
I am kind when: I look for ways to help others by following the example of Jesus. I show kindness to any person or animal I see. I look for ways to care for God's creation. I share what I have with other people. I am kind to myself.
