Our school wide virtue this week is:  HUMILITY HUMILITY is the virtue that enables us to acknowledge that God is the source of all good. You have been told, O mortal, what is good, and what the Lord requires of you: Only to do justice and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:3
