Character Counts

Character Counts Assembly

The First Day of School Assembly Character Counts,  encouraged positive character habits in a fun way.  We are a Character Counts School, we focus on one of the six pillars of character for each month. The Six Pillars of Characters are Responsibility, Respect, Trustworthiness, Citizenship, Caring, and Fairness.

 

January is Fairness: A person of character is fair and just, is impartial, listens, and is open to differing viewpoints.

February and March are Respect:  A person of character values all persons, lives by the Golden Rule, respects the dignity, privacy, and freedom of others, is courteous and polite to all, and is tolerant and accepting of differences.

April is Trustworthiness:  A person of character is trustworthy, lives with integrity, and is honest, reliable, and loyal.

May is Caring:  A person of character is caring, compassionate, kind, loving, considerate, and charitable.

June is Fairness and Citizenship.
