Pillars of GOOD Character!

Students have been working on CARING which also means, at times, beingRESPONSIBLE. They are learning how to allow all students to play gamestogether, inclusively. La Sierra students are also learning to clean up afterthemselves when they make a mess. So, parents, you can help by asking themto wash dishes, clean the table after dinner, mop the floor, orgainse their rooms,get their bags ready for school and more! This helps them develop solid valuessuch as CARING and we hope they will become more INDEPENDENT.
