Having integrity means many things such as being honest, sincere, and conducting oneself according to what is right and what is wrong. When students can recognize integrity in themselves and others, they are able to develop a feeling of security and self-assurance. By participating in activities that focus on individual strengths, tolerance, and trust-building, students can appreciate the power of conducting themselves with integrity.

When you have integrity, you’re honest with yourself and others--You match what you do to what you believe. You have confidence in yourself because you know yourself. Other people have confidence in you because they can depend on you to be consistent and constant.

• Integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one is looking.
• Integrity means doing the right thing, even if it isn’t the easiest or most popular thing.

Help your children to identify role models who can guide them in developing good values. Role models don’t have to be famous people, but people in our everyday lives who are genuine and supportive towards others. Note specific examples that make these role models trustworthy. Discuss integrity as a family.

Thank you for your support with this!
