Yesterday, our 3rd graders had an amazing opportunity thanks to the Boise Sunrise Rotary! Each student received their very own dictionary! They learned about the importance of words and The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do...
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
The power of words is the best gift of all. Dictionary Day is our favorite day.
Thank you, Boise Sunrise Rotary!
When STEM night is SO fun you don't even want to go home!
