Good Morning Senior Academy.
March Character Trait of the Month: 'Good Judgment'
This month, we’re focusing on good judgment—thinking carefully, considering consequences, and making responsible choices even when faced with difficult situations. If you know a peer who consistently makes thoughtful, responsible decisions, scan one of the purple QR codes around campus to nominate them. Please remember, you cannot nominate yourself—this is an opportunity to recognize a peer.
