Virtue of the Week
The virtue of the week is Humility. Each week classes will select a student of the week who has demonstrated the week's virtue. Those students will be announced on the morning show on Friday's.
Being humble is considering others as important as yourself. You are thoughtful of their needs and willing to be of service. You don't expect others or yourself to be perfect. You learn from your mistakes. When you do great things, humility reminds you to be thankful instead of boastful.
