Have you noticed the mirror on the What a Life Bulletin Board in the cafeteria? 

Integrity really is about being able to look at yourself in the mirror each day, knowing you are trying to make good choices when you are with friends, at school, and on line.

Hopefully when you look in a mirror, you see a person of integrity.

The What A Life committee hopes each of you have a wonderful summer and remember to make good choices along the way.

We would like to end with a wonderful saying outside Mrs. Holmes’ Room 213...

Watch your Thoughts, they become your Words.

Watch your Words, they become your Actions.

Watch your Actions, they become your Habits.

Watch your Habits, they become your Character.

Watch your Character, it becomes your Destiny.
