ROTARY FOUR-WAY TEST 

Mr. Lathrop and Mr. DeFilippo's

freshmen SCLA classes spent time with local Rotarians learning the Four-Way test- giving them a good lesson on how leaders can make decisions.  Each student received a coin to remind them of their choices. 

 

 1. Is it the truth? 

2. Is it fair to all concerned? 

3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships? 

4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
