to enjoy breakfast with the dads and their children while encouraging conversations about
important life topics. Please join other dads and parents at our Maple Dale chapter for a
fun time of relationship building. The final chapter breakfast meeting this school year is
Thursday May 9 th .
Maple Dale students are invited to the Maple Dale Elementary All Pro
Dads breakfast on Thursday May 9 th from 8am – 9am. This free

The May meeting theme is integrity.
Integrity
Having integrity means doing the right thing no matter what, both when we’re in front of other
people and when nobody knows we did it. Having integrity makes a person trustworthy. Integrity
is doing the right thing in any situation, no matter what. As we go through life, our integrity is going
to be tested. We must have integrity in order to be trustworthy. Integrity isn’t something you are
born with. It is cultivated.
