Character Education Program
The world today is a challenge for all of us, and helping a child find his or her way is no easy task. What do we want our children to walk away with at the end of their school experience? Yes, we want them to have a firm academic foundation, but we also want them to know how to resolve conflicts peacefully, care about others, be honest and have confidence in themselves.
Here at Turner Elementary it is our goal to help each student realize these important traits through a collaborative effort between parents, teachers, administrators, and students. Each month we will focus on a particular character trait. The entire school will build upon these traits through modeling and reinforcing positive behaviors.
TRUSTWORTHINESS (August/February) Telling the truth "true blue". Keeping your promises. Having the courage to do the right thing. RESPECT (September/March)
Using good manners. Accepting others and their differences. Handling conflict peacefully.
RESPONSIBILITY (October/April)
Using self-control. Being accountable for your choices. Doing your best at everything.
CITIZENSHIP (November/May)
Doing your share to make your school better. Being a good neighbor. Protecting the environment.
CARING (December)
Being kind and helpful. Showing you care for others. Forgiving others.
FAIRNESS (January)
Playing by the rules. Being open-minded and listening to others. Taking turns and sharing.
