Welcome
Thank you Teachers
You once had a choice
And you chose to teach
And every day
It’s our children you reach
You make the difference
In the life of each child
Those that are quiet
And those that are wild
It’s the way that you teach
You do it so well
They look up to you
And think you are swell
You teach from your heart
That’s plain to see
They think you’re divine
And we all agree
Please never forget
And remember it’s true
Our children all need
Great teachers like you
We appreciate you
And we value your time
And if you should forget
Please re-read this rhyme

Character Trait for the month of May- Reverence
Character education teaches the habits of thought and deed that help people live and work together as families, friends, neighbors, communities, and nations. It is a learning process that enables students and adults in a school community to understand, care about and act on core ethical values. We encourage our students to practice reverence during this month.
