Embedding Character Education
LEOPARDS: Loyalty Empathy Open-Mindedness Perseverance Appreciation Resourcefulness Disciplined Service
During October we are highlighting the LEOPARDS Trait of Empathy (the ability to understand and share the feelings of another). An excellent way to embed character education throughout the school day is by sharing quality literature. If you are looking for books ideas for reading at home with your child, this list is a good start.
Empathy goes hand-in-hand with Service. We need your support with our two current service projects: McNeil Learning Community Underwear Drive for the RRISD Clothes Closet, and the England Art Club Houses for Houston to benefit those affected by recent natural disasters.
