Character Education Topic - Joyfulness
For the month of January we are emphasizing the character trait
of Joyfulness: Maintaining a good attitude even when faced with
difficulty. Our verse this week is Psalm 68:3 “But may the righteous
be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful.”
Please review the emailed information each week from Mr. Villers
and be looking for ways to emphasize the monthly topics in your
discussions at home.
