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 ENGAGE: Create a Top 10 List
Ask each member of your family to write a trait, a behavior, or an attitude that demonstrates integrity or honesty on a sticky note. Put all the notes on a wall or table and develop a family definition of integrity based on your responses. Altogether, brainstorm ten ways that personal integrity makes a difference. Consider how it impacts your family, school, community, and world. Facilitate a discussion about what happens when integrity is compromised.
