Responsibility in Action

This year, for the first time since I have been at St. Matthias, students are eating their lunches in Friendship Hall.  Today was the second day of the new procedure.  The students in fourth grade made me proud to be their teacher because of how they modeled responsibility for themselves and for our larger school community.  Not only did they show responsibility by cleaning up after themselves and by putting away their chairs quickly and safely, they also took initiative and worked as a team as they helped each other get the chairs stacked for the younger students.  It was truly an all hands on deck event and they handled it beautifully- a proud moment indeed.
