The Counselor's Corner

Our character education word for the week is sportsmanship.  Sportsmanship means fair play in games and other competitions; using fair play or sportsmanlike conduct.

According to our Changing Lives Character Education Program, sportsmanship in school means:

1.  I will play fair and congratulate the winner.

2.  I will stay cool and control my temper.

3.  I will observe the rules of the game.

  Career in Focus:  Professional athlete plays in front of an audience and gets paid for it. Fans enjoy seeing these athletes play so much that they are willing to pay to watch. In this way, professional athletes are like performers or entertainers. They must perform well in each game or risk losing. If they don't play well, they won't last long.

  
  

  Our classroom guidance lesson focuses on "Being a Good Sport".
