Character counts at Keene
KEENE – Keene Elementary students are focusing on more than book work this year.
“We want to teach them about character and integrity,” said Principal Matt Colvin. “I want them to know what it means to be things like trustworthy and respectful.”
When students walk into the building they immediately see signs reminding them of these characteristics. Quote boards sharing positive messages also are scattered throughout the school.
“I’m hoping that the kids and even the adults can read these and have it help them with a situation they are going through,” Colvin said.
Parents had the opportunity to see the positive messages spread throughout the school during the recent family reading night. They also were able to enjoy hot chocolate and cookies with their children.
