On Thursday, January 26th, Ellie participated in a Character Counts celebration. She was chosen by her classmates to receive the award for the trait of the month: Respect. Each month the children focus on one character trait and learn all about it and how to model that behavior. The six traits are: respect, trustrworthy, caring, responsibility, fairness and citizenship. Ellie's class voted that she was the most respectful student in their class. She received a certificate in a small ceremony held by the guidance department with yummy cake afterwards!
One of Ellie's friends, Allie, who she has known since preschool and who lives down our street also received the Respect award.
Congratulations Ellie! We agree that you are very respectful and we are so proud of you!
