Seven Sacred Teachings Virtue Awards: Humility

Once again this year our students are learning about The Seven Sacred Teachings. The Seven Sacred Teachings are values based in First Nations cultural tradition that reinforce the teachings of our Catholic faith. Each teaching honours one of the basic virtues to help us to live a full and healthy life: Love, Respect, Courage, Honesty, Wisdom, Humility, and Truth. Each of these Sacred Teachings is represented by a different animal, and provides practical and positive traits for use in our everyday lives.

Every child in our school will be celebrated for demonstrating one or more of these teachings during the school year. This will happen during our monthly Awards Celebrations.

M. Caddotte's Grade 4 class led the celebration by reminding our students about what they have learned about Humility. According to www.thesharingcircle.com, recognizing and acknowledging that there is a higher power than man and it is known as the Creator is to be deemed truly humble. The expression of humility is manifested through the consideration of others before ourselves. The wolf is the teacher of this lesson.

Congratulations to all of the recipients of the Humility award!
