Responsibilty is our character trait this month


As you know, Birch Meadow’s behavior program is focusing on 6 themes of character this year: Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, Sportsmanship, Cooperation, and Caring.

Responsibility is the character trait we will be focusing on this month. A special thank you goes to our 5th graders who introduced our guest speaker, superintendent of schools Dr. John Doherty. Dr. Doherty talked about his responsibilities as the superintendent and allowed students to share how they will be responsible at home and school. Teachers and staff will be rewarding students showing Responsibility and we are encouraging parents to do the same at home. Your child will be bringing home a bear this week. Please reward your child when you see him/her showing Responsibility by filling out the bear with your child’s name, room number and what they did to show RESPONSIBILIITY. The bear will be added to the other bears in a container in the office and posted in the lobby. Mr. Sprung will read one bear from each grade level at our next assembly.

The bear will be returned to you at the end of the month. Thank you for your cooperation with this program, and we look forward to reading how your child has shown Responsibility at home!
