January Character Trait - Courage/Initiative

I have been looking for our next student of the month!! You could be the person if you demonstrate the following....


(I took this information off of the DCPS website)

January:
**Courage is the ability to overcome fear in order to do
what is right, even if it is difficult.
**Initiative means to begin or follow through with a
plan:
Children demonstrate courage and initiative
by:
1. attempting something that stretches the
belief in their abilities .
2. being willing to offer ideas, even if they
aren’t accepted.
3. standing up for someone who is being
bullied or left out.
4. making friends with others, especially those
who are different.
5. making decisions based on fact instead of
what is easy or popular.
6. facing up to duty and responsibility.

Courage Quote:
“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every
experience in which you really stop to look fear in the
face. You must do the thing which you
think you cannot do.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
