Character Counts!

Posted by jbellinger on March 7, 2008

At MCE we use Character Counts! as a foundation to teach and model good character.  We focus on the six pillars of character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, & Citizenship.

The pillar for the month of September is: Respect (Golden Rule & Non-Violence)

Respect Treat others with respect; follow the Golden Rule ~ Be tolerant of differences ~ Use good manners, not bad language ~ Be considerate of the feelings of others ~ Don’t threaten, hit, or hurt anyone ~ Deal peacefully with anger, insults, and disagreements 

We encourage parents to talk with your children about this pillar of character and show how they can be ”Respectful” in their everyday life.
