ROCK - Message of the Week
Reaching Out with Character and Kindness isn’t just a once a year thing. We want our students, staff and parents sharing the message of R.O.C.K. every day. This year, KellerISD will be sharing a weekly message at all of our schools and in our community. The Weekly R.O.C.K. message will focus on character, kindness and commitments that each of us can make to prevent bullying and harassment in Keller ISD.
Here is this week's message:
ROCK Challenge: Which character trait is most important to you? Our challenge this week is to choose the trait you think is most important and make a poster, picture or short poem about that trait. Teachers, display them in the building and tweet pictures to #kisdROCK
