The Counselor's Corner

As we enter the fourth week of school, students will learn the importance of respect and how to identify and deal with their feelings appropriately.

Character Word: Respectfulness means having a high regard for someone and to treat with courtesy and consideration.

According to the Changing Lives Character Education Program, respectfulness in school means:

* I will be kind and polite to teachers, classmates, and elders.

* I will obey school rules and regulations.

* I will listen and follow my teachers directions.

Career in Focus: Firefighters fight or extinguish fires, inspect buildings for fire hazards, fire escapes, and fire doors. Firefighters teach fire prevention and safety and clean and maintain the fire fighting equipment.
