“Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
Conducting Ourselves
with Character
Students are encouraged to conduct themselves with character each day. We are working hard to incorporate opportunities to discuss these traits into our daily teaching. Additionally, we will choose one trait to highlight monthly. We will choose one or more students from each class who are demonstrating this trait and honor them as the students of the month.
It is helpful to say to your child, "Be sure to conduct yourself with character." or "Did you conduct yourself with character?" These words give us a powerful, common language to use when talking about character with children.
