Principal’s Message Hello Skyeeeehawks!
Welcome back! I hope you received the gift of quality time with family and loved ones. I tell my staff that one of the greatest gifts we give our students is understanding the difference between right and wrong, and helping students develop the courage and the strength to choose what’s right, especially in dificult situations. We try to give that gift every day in school.

In education, we have a concept called a “power standard”, which is a sub -standard that teachers have determined to be the highest priority or most important for students to learn. A power standard is foundational, meaning that once mastered, it helps the student learn so many other standards. Well, this month’s character strength is Integrity. Integrity is a power standard in our character curriculum. Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody is watching. People with integrity practice what they preach. It is a consistent pattern of behavior aligned with one’s values. People with integrity have the courage not to follow the crowd if it means going against their beliefs.

Integrity is afiliated with honesty and authenticity. People with integrity tell the truth. A person who lacks integrity often times pretends to be something he is not: He says one thing but then does the opposite. It is important to be able to change your mind (to be open to advice and wis-dom); as you learn, you change and grow. However, the main distinction is one’s intentions. Is the person intending to manipulate or create a false image? Integrity is tough when your purpose is to fool others to think of you as someone you are not. A second important distinction is self-awareness. It’s tough to be true to yourself if you don’t know who you are. Integrity champions honesty, not just with others but within yourself as well. Integrity is greatly needed when you have been caught doing something wrong. Admiting faults helps a person acknowledge the error so that he can change to become a better version of himself.

Fly High, Fly Proud, Fly with Integrity,

George Petersen
