HONESTY WEEK
Last week was called "Honesty
Week" at Howick Central. Being
honest is very important and
without it we could trust no one.
Mr. Robertson emphasized that it
is very importarit to be honest
when you do something wrong
because if you lie and someone
finds out you will likely get in
more trouble than if you told the
truth in the first place. People
who ntid something should try to
find the owtrer because you would
expect them to do the same.
