Respect is our character trait this month

Dear Birch Meadow Parents,

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

Respect is the character trait we will be focusing on this month. A special thank you goes to our 4th graders who introduced our guest speaker, parent and school committee member Lisa Gibbs. Lisa talked about respect and allowed students to share how they will be respectful at home and school. Teachers and staff will be rewarding students showing respect 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 respect by filling out the bear with your child’s name, room number and what they did to show respect. 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 respect at home!
