Jarvis Middle School recognized students who demonstrated October's character theme—empathy.
To receive the honor, students must demonstrate empathy toward their peers, and their teachers. Teachers who witness students students showing empathy, nominate them each week. Those names are announced over the daily announcements. At the end of the month, nominated students receive a certificate, gather for a group photo, and are entered in a prize drawing.
"Empathy is so important in school and at home," said Assistant Principal Jessica Bowman.
"When we put ourselves in other people's shoes, we begin to understand why they say things or behave a certain way. If we are empathetic, we are slower to criticize, ridicule , or bully."
To learn more about October's theme of empathy, watch the slideshow shared during a school assembly.
