"See The Possibilities"
Greetings Bulldog Family
Inspired to Become an Inspiration
Take a moment to reflect on someone who inspired you to become the person you are today. Whether it was a teacher, family member, a business leader, athlete, entertainer, or a community advocate the fact remains is there was something they said or did that sparked the inspiration for you to achieve. Now take a moment to reflect on how you can pay it forward and become an inspiration to our children. The way you speak, the way you carry yourself, your positive attitude and encouraging words, the approach you take to teaching and the enthusiasm you bring into the classroom can all inspire our children to achieve their very best! Teachers help create the avenue for students to be great and can inspire them beyond their wildest dreams! As we become more intentional and deliberate in our daily interactions with students, faculty, staff and administration officials, let us be reminded of the moment we became inspired and use this as a beacon to See The Possibilities with the hope and expectation of being an inspiration not only to ourselves, but to our students who will be empowered to do greater things! Make the next moment your best moment as we are inspired to become an inspiration!

Character Education
Eleven Principles of Effective Character Education:
⊕ Promotes core ethical and performance values
⊕ Teaches students to understand, care about, and act upon these core values ⊕ It encompasses all aspects of the school culture.
⊕ Fosters a caring school community
⊕ Provides opportunities for moral action
⊕ Supports academic achievement
⊕ Develops intrinsic motivation
⊕ Includes whole-staff involvement
⊕ Requires positive leadership of staff and students
⊕ Involves parents and community members
⊕ Assesses results and strives to improve Character education has always been an essential part of our school’s mission.
In fact, since the founding of our nation’s public schools, character development was always an integral part of schooling along with academics. Today’s character education movement is a re-emergence of that vital mission.
Character education teaches the habits of thought and deeds that help people live and work together as families, friends, neighbors, communities, and nations. Additionally, character education is a learning process that enables students and adults in the school community to understand, care about, and act on core ethical values such as respect, justice, civic virtue, citizenship, and responsibility for self and others. Upon such core values, we form the attitudes and actions that are the hallmark of safe, healthy, and informed communities that serve as the foundation of our society.
For the month of September, the Character Education word is Respect. Respect is defined as showing high regard for authority, other people, self, and country. Treating others as you would want to be treated. Understanding that all people have value as human beings.
