Our Bulldogs finished strong, showing compassion throughout the month of January. February’s character word is TRUSTWORTHY. Being trustworthy means doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. It means telling the truth even when it is not easy, keeping our promises, and being someone others can count on.
I look forward to seeing compassionate, trustworthy Bulldogs at MES during the month of February and every day. Please help your mighty Bulldog student continue to exude these important character traits.
Congratulations to our most recent recipients of the Compassion Award! We are proud of you and the example you set for others. 🐾
