CKH Word of the Month for May ~ Integrity
Live With Honesty and Excellence
This month, we are challenging students to choose to do the right thing, no matter who is watching. We each aim to live with the ability and willingness to exist with honesty and excellence. We want to partner with you to highlight your child’s integrity. As you do this month’s activities, look for opportunities to celebrate your child's integrity and character growth.
Activity #1 EMPOWER: Be an Integrity Scout
Ask your family to watch out for any positive behaviors — such as integrity or honesty — that they observe during the week. At the end of the week, encourage everyone to share their observations. Then, ask each family member to write affirmations to individuals who exhibited positive behaviors and deliver them. Finish the activity by having everyone describe what they learned by looking for positive behaviors.
