CHARACTER EDUCATION

Our character education trait this month is Caring/Giving. Caring calls for keeping your eyes open. It calls for looking inside others to understand how they feel. It calls for knowing what is making them feel sad or happy? Once you can empathize with someone, you can make better decisions regarding that person or the situation. Don't stop there, though. It isn't caring yet. Caring has to go another step. Caring takes action by doing something to make the situation better.

Character education about caring has got to start early. It has got to take place often and it has got to be consistent. When the parents and teachers show compassion everyday in actions, and teach it in words, the students are immersed in quality role models.

Our character committee is working hard to increase parent involvement this year.  We are going to start recognizing parents for their good character with PARENT PAW PRINTS.  Students and staff can nominate parents for showing respect, caring, trustworthiness, etc.

HEALTH WATCH!!!

In an ongoing effort to maintain the health and well being of all students, please practice these simple precautions that are a good defense against illness:

•  Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.

•  Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.

•  Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread that way.

•  Stay home if children get sick and contact the school to inform us of the absence.
