On Wednesday, Oct 3rd, Sensei Gary was our speaker at chapel. He addressed the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades and his presentation centered on RESPECT, HONOR, INTEGRITY and VALUES. The children were riveted to what he was saying and seemed very taken by his Kempo Bedtime Story. If you have the time ask your child about what he shared. He gave an analogy concerning the relationship between a wolf, a sheep and a sheepdog comparing their traits to bullying behaviors, the person being bullied or just standing by watching, and a person who stands up for what is right and honorable. We will again invite Sensei Gary to speak because they really seem to get what he is saying and he really relates to the children with stories of his past. He also challenges the children to stand up for what is right and not be bystander when something wrong is happening either to them or to someone else. He gave them the correct manner to handle situations: address the offender and let them know it is wrong, tell a teacher or an adult, take it to the principal. It was an awesome presentation!!!
