Weekly character shout out at CCE!
Did you know that most people give up on their New Year's resolutions by mid-January?! Well, that is NOT the case for our 4th grade! At the beginning of the semester they reviewed our seven core values (humility, self-discipline, compassion, respect, courage, integrity& gratitude), sorted different scenarios based of our core values, and then selected one they could work on as well as the steps they would need to take to meet their goals. Way to set an example for us 4th! Keep growing in character, it's showing!
