QUOTE OF THE WEEK :

"I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man."
~George Washington

D&C 11:7 "Seek not for riches but for wisdom; and, behold, the mysteries of God shall be unfold unto you, and then shall you be made rich. Behold, he that have eternal life is rich."

VIRTUE OF THE WEEK: Honesty

In studying History and the great men and women of the past there are certain character traits and virtues that each have. We have been introducing these virtues to the children, the people who have these virtues present and past, and reading biographical excerpts from these people's lives in order to give them examples of how to incorporate these virtues into their own lives. In observance of President's Day we've talked a lot about the fact that George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were loved and revered for many things, but they were well know, and trusted for their honesty!
