Character Education Word of the week: INTEGRITY

·         “You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.” – Anonymous

·         “Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them.” – Brene Brown

·         “If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.” – Mark Twain
