Greendale 5th graders are showing consideration for the new
preschoolers as they help them with their first lunch in the
cafeteria.
As part of the Character Education Program at Greendale, the school has adopted key words called Words of the Week. (WOW) These words center around 6 themes which are Caring, Responsibility, Fairness, Citizenship, Trustworthiness and Respect For Others. Teachers are encouraged to incorporate the words into their classrooms. The WOW is announced each Monday morning and suggestions for activities which focus on the particular word are put in the teachers' boxes for the upcoming week.
In the picture, Greendale's Fifth graders practice the school's Word Of The Week, Consideration, as they help the new preschoolers during lunch.
