The Counselor's Corner

Our character education word for the week is perseverance.  Perseverance means having the habit of sticking to a task; persisting; to continue to do something in spite of difficulties.

The students at PCES are studying perseverance this week during classroom guidance.  Students are learning to be like The Little Engine that Could and to never give up.

According to our Changing Lives Character Education Program, perseverance in school means:
1.  I will not give up until I find the right answer.
2.  I will work hard to achieve my ambition.
3.  I will study hard, and stay in school to succeed.
4.  I will stay in the game to win!

Career in Focus:  Author/Writer

Writers create books, scripts, ads, articles, manuals, and other written material.

The Guidance Lesson focuses on facing our fears and never giving up.  We are connecting this to

Women's History Month with a spotlight on women:  Colonel Eileen Collins and Dr. Mae C. Jamison.
