Happy Weekend!
What a fantastic Homecoming week we have had! It's great to see all the school spirit as our students participate in the theme days and share their Hornet Pride.
In counseling lessons, our classroom circle question had students reflecting on how they show their school pride. Many students shared they show school pride by participating in all school subjects, being kind to others, dressing up on theme days, and following school expectations.
Next week we will be reintroducing Character Counts to our school! Character Counts focuses on six pillars of character (trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, caring, fairness, and citizenship). By educating, modeling, and providing examples of these character traits, students learn how to embody these positive traits in themselves as they improve in their self and social awareness as well as their relationship skills and interactions with others.
For the next month, students will be exploring Trustworthiness which is defined by Character Counts as:
- Be honest. Don't deceive, cheat or steal
- Have integrity. Do what you say you'll do
- Keep your promises.
- Be loyal. Stand by your values
At the end of the month, classroom teachers will nominate three students they believe to embody trustworthiness, and then all staff will have the opportunity to vote for our trustworthy character counts students!
