Nick exhibited both hard work and kindness while volunteering his time working a basketball game. While collecting money at the door he was patient with those who had questions, and answered their questions respectfully. Nick showed kindness to each and every person by saying “enjoy the game” or “have a nice day”. Also, while others were carrying boxes into the gym he offered to help without being asked. Nick is a great representative of our school!

Kyra lives the virtue of humility every day. She consistently exhibits JOY as she puts Jesus and Others in front of herself. She can be heard during Mass singing praises and joining in the responses triumphantly. Every morning she holds the door open as students from various classes arrive after her, is the first to give up her milk at lunch for a student without a drink, and offers her supplies to the teacher when needed. These are just a few of the ways Kyra exhibits this virtue daily and is a role model for others.

She has displayed much courage and kindness this school year.
