Did you know that being reliable is another way to express that a person is dependable?  This week we are going to have fun being “Dependability Detectives”.  What that means is that when you spot someone being dependable you will write a very nice comment and tell what they were doing. I can’t wait to read your comments. One of the reasons J.H.House is such a special school is that it is full of dependable children! So detectives, get to work and have a great day!
