Here at Aspen, we help to prepare students to be productive citizens through our Character Counts Word of the Month program.  Each month a different character building word is highlighted and discussed throughout the school.

The character traits we focus on during the year include: 

August/September: Guidelines for Success

October:  Respect

November:  Sportsmanship

December:  Kindness

January:  Responsibility

February:  Honesty

March:  Friendship

April:  Charity

May:  Perseverance    

Please take a few minutes to review this month's word with your child.  You can discuss the word's meaning and how they might apply it in their daily interactions with friends or family members.  You might also ask them what they've talked about in their classroom.
