Virtues of the Month

Each month Holy Name of Jesus School focuses on a specific virtue of character development. Throughout this month, the faculty and administration will encourage growth in the particular virtue during Morning Assembly, in the classroom, on campus, and during extra-curricular activities. Subsequently, one grade level will be responsible for designing activities (presentations, projects, service) that best reflect that month’s virtue.

The emphasis each month will be on individual growth of the virtue. Holy Name of Jesus School focuses on the following virtues:

• Kindness
• Responsibility
• Gratitude
• Generosity
• Perseverance
• Honesty
• Forgiveness
• Respect
• Unity

Honorable Gator Award

At the end of each month, teachers and administration will choose students from grades PK4-7th who have grown the most and/or exhibited strong qualities of the virtue as Honorable Gators. Second through 7th graders are honored during a ceremony after a designated School Mass. Our PK4 through 1st grade students are honored after their Liturgy of The Word. The monthly virtues will be practiced and emphasized in an age-appropriate manner for students in grades PreK3.
