World Values Day - An Assembly, Presentation and Class Discussion
Values are what make us who we are. They are the compass guiding everything we do – our choices and our actions. When we forget that compass, we take the wrong turn. It’s the same for our families, for our communities, for the world.

- How do values change the world?
- The Values Challenge - One Hour, One Value, One Change
- How can I find my values?
