Character Education Stars

Mrs. Gold's Character Education
Stars of the Month

"Shoot for the moon, because even if you miss, you'll reach the stars!"

Each month our school initiates a monthly recognition of students who model one of the six pillars of character education. Our goal is to honor individual children who display behavior that exemplifies responsibility, trustworthiness, citizenship, caring, fairness, or respect. We want to create an awareness that every teacher values children who “do the right thing”. I'd like to congratulate the following Character Education Stars in Mrs. Gold's Class!
