that's what he said :: school pledge

this isn't my typical "that's what he said wednesday". it's more like "that's what he says and i think it's great, wednesday".

i just learned about the little dude's school pledge that they say at school. it hit me hard and i want to incorporate it in our daily lives at home. here it is:

today is a new beginning and i can make a difference!
i pledge:
to be responsible for my learning;
to always be and do my best,
to be respectful to myself and others,
to be honest and truthful,
as a part of the Lake Country family, i will help keep the school clean, and model good citizenship.
when the day is done, i will take knowledge and wisdom and truth with me, to help make the world a better place.

while some of it is really geared to school life i thought it would be great to take the beginning and the end and turn it into our family pledge. something like this:

today is a new beginning and i can make a difference!
when the day is done, i will take knowledge and wisdom and truth with me, to help make the world a better place.

what a great pledge to live by. i think i need to make it into a big poster and hang it in our home in a prominent place.

what are your thoughts? do you have a family pledge? something that you as a family believe in and strive for? please share in the comments. i'd love to hear about it!
