Pillars of Character Sheets and TOGO Trust Cards
This year, we are continuing our culture of trust, respect and responsibility. This week, students will be given a Pillars of Character Sheet, similar to a BINGO Card (see example below). Each student has to complete a row of tasks (either horizontal, vertical or diagonal) to receive his/her TOGO Card.
The TOGO Cards will be ready for students to get this week. The students who have already completed the Pillars of Character Sheets will receive their TOGO Card. Others can take however long they need to complete the Pillars and to earn their card. The students will wear their TOGO Card around their neck like an ID card every day. It is the responsibility of the students to remember their TOGO Card each day.
