*moral - able to distinguish between right and wrong ; having good conduct
*grace - gift of God's life in us

***I have been asked to clear up an issue regarding homework supervision in the after school program since I have been told that some parents have expressed concern over this matter.  Those who work in the after school offer assistance and guidance and make sure homework is completed. They are NOT responsible for
 "correcting" the homework. I do expect students to review their corrected work and try to show improvement but grades are based on what each student is able to do.
