The October Student of the Month theme is: INTEGRITY To act according to a sense of what’s right and wrong

Speak and act from your own beliefs, rather than from what others may say or do Do what you say you will do Take charge of your own learning an commit yourself to excellence Point out to others what is good in themselves Stand up for others who may be less fortunate Carry out responsibilities without complaining Avoid gossip; build teamwork with others Take charge of your own learning When you have integrity, you’re honest with yourself and others. But integrity involves more than telling the truth. You talk and walk the walk. You match what you do to what you believe. You have confidence in yourself because you know yourself. Other people have confidence in you because they can depend on you to be consistent and constant. Your friends look to you as a leader because they trust you; parents, teachers, and employers give you more freedom and responsibility. Your integrity encompasses every part of your life. You do the right thing, even if it isn’t the easiest or most popular thing

“Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.” Dr. Samuel Johnson, Poet, Essayist, Lexicographer “Integrity is what we say, what we do, and what we say we do.” Don Galer
