Students learn the virtues of character at Marrington Elementary

By Ann Schuler Marrington Elementary School guidance counselor

Marrington Elementary School recently instituted a new program titled, "Virtue of the Month."

Each month, teachers select children from their classes who best demonstrate a specific character virtue which the students have learned about during classroom guidance. After their selection, a letter is sent home to the parents, informing them that their child has been honored.

The first featured Virtue of the Month was "Respect," and at a special awards assembly, each child received a certificate and a button with his or her "virtue" on it.

Being respectful is a virtue which will serve children throughout their lives, whether in school, a job, or family life. The children have demonstrated an understanding that being respectful will always be appreciated, recognized and rewarded.

Virtue of the Month winners by class were:
101: Caden Case
102: Kayshriion Guillory
103: Alfredo Guillory
104: Lilly Hopkins
105: Dylan Hoover
203: Breon Steele
