Upcoming Events
Mrs. Clay's Counseling Corner
Swimming in a School of Character:
This month character word is tolerance! Tolerance means respecting the individual views and beliefs of other people.Tolerance also means respecting others for their differences whether they are race differences, religious differences or even socioeconomic differences.
Tolerance and School
Teaching tolerance, diversity, and multiculturalism helps children broaden their awareness and acceptance. It helps create a more harmonious world for everyone. Many of your child’s classmates will look, think, and act differently than your child. Having tolerance means accepting others and not teasing or putting them down because they seem different. If you get to know them better, you may find you have things in common, too! Take the time to discuss the monthly character word as a family and put them into practice.
