                Sacred Heart's School Theme for 2011-12 is                                                                "We Keep Growing Taller."

To returning students: I'm looking forward to working with you again.  This school year will be as good as you and I can make it.  We will be working with DWP (discipline with a purpose) again this year.  Each month will feature a different DWP skill to practice and improve on throughout the 2011-12 year.  

September's school-wide skills are LISTENING/FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS                                                                    October skills: Completing a Task, Asking Questions                                                                                                            NOVEMBER'S DWP SKILLS:    Cooperation and Organization                                                                                               The DWP skill for December is SHARING

Our JANUARY DWP skill is CALLED EXHIBITING LEADERSHIP.  What can you do?  Demonstrate the qualities of a leader.  For example: stand up for what you believe in, look out for the welfare of others, be honest and fair.                Can you think of more leadership qualities?
