The Counselor's Corner

Students are enjoying learning about the character education word of the week - fairness.  Fairness means not favoring one more than another; being just - following the right rules, being honest.

Career in Focus:  Judge

Judges preside over courts of law, making sure the court administers justice while respecting people's legal rights.

Examine evidence and decide if cases should go to trial

Preside over trials, ensuring everyone follows the rules of law

Instruct juries on their responsibilities

If there is no jury, examine the evidence and decide the verdict

Decide punishments for those found guilty.

Quotable Quote:

Fairness is not an attitude. It's a professional skill that must be developed and exercised.                                                                                         Brit Hume

 

The Counselor's Corner

Choosing a career is one of the top three most important decisions that an individual will make,

PCES students spotlight a career each week.  This week students are completing Career Links and reviewing the careers that they have studied through a game of Career Riddles.

The Counselor's Corner

Our character education word for the week is courtesy.  Courtesy means polite behavior and thoughtfulness for others; politeness and consideration of others; good manners.

According to our Changing Lives Character Education Program, Courtesy in School Means:
1.  I will always say "thank you" and "please".
2.  I will take off my hat when I enter the building.
3.  I will not interrupt when my teacher is talking.                                                                                                  4.  I will walk quietly, not disturbing class.                                                                                          

Careers for people who like to draw                                                                                                               It doesn't  matter if you use pencils, paintbrushes or computer graphics software – what counts in these jobs is drawing accurately and well.                                                                                                  Related Careers:       Animator, Cartographer, Medical illustrator                                                                                                        Quotable Quote:  "A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love."             Saint Basil
