Courage
June – Integrity
Living a set of values which included honesty, respect for others, and a sense of personal responsibility.
- TALK – use this prompt to start a conversation with your family about this month’s character trait:
Do you do the right thing when no one else is looking? - LEARN – explore the summer character trait’s through these books available from the Spokane County Library District.
- DO – explore this month’s character trait through these engagement activities:
Use your dinner time conversation to discuss some scenarios your children may face and how they can respond to them with integrity. Constructing such scenarios will enable your child understand that they should do the correct thing even though it may not be the popular choice. Some possible questions for discussion are listed below:
• “What would you do if you say one of your friends stealing a candy bar at the store?”
• “What would you do if you found any answer sheet to an upcoming test?’
• “How would you respond if you witnessed bulling at school or online?”
Meet Mrs. McKennon
Hello and Happy June!
My name is Sara McKennon and I am so excited that I will be your new principal for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year!
To give you a little background, I have been a teacher and an assistant principal for over 20 years, 7 of those years I was actually teaching 4th and 5th grade at Sunset. I am very excited to be coming back and embarking on my first Principalship. I am looking forward to connecting with families and other community members to learn and share ideas on how to make Sunset the best that it can be!
I will reach out again soon, but in the meantime, I hope you all have a wonderful summer break and I can't wait to see you all for the first day of school on August 27th!
