"People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built."
~Eleanor Roosevelt
Each month, the JFK Middle School’s Character Education Committee creates activities to promote one of the 8 character traits listed below. Activities can include morning announcements, homeroom and lunch activities, assemblies and fundraisers to remind students and staff of the importance of possessing good character.
The character trait for the month of December is Respect- You might hear about having respect or showing respect. At the heart of respect is caring. In simple words, respect is caring how words and actions may impact others. Respect has two parts: One part is having respect for someone because of how their actions impact others and the second part is showing respect by changing your actions to be sure you don't have a negative impact. Keep this character trait in mind this month and please participate in the activities that will be coming!
