On September 9th, Berlin Elementary Principal Ms. Kent and Assistant Principal Ms. Cataldo hosted the first monthly Character Education assembly of the school year for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade.

This year the monthly Character Education assemblies at BES will focus on the character trait of respect and how BES Mountaineers are “Stronger Together”.

 

During the assembly the BES Character Education team put on three different What would a Mountaineer do? skits to demonstrate what respect looks like on the bus, in the cafeteria and on the playground.

Being a Mountaineer means being responsible, safe and respectful. Merits will again be given out this school year throughout the month by BES staff and bus drivers to celebrate students who demonstrate these traits. These students are given merits that are deposited in the Mountaineer Merit container found in the main hallway.

Principal Kent and Assistant Principal Cataldo will draw ten merit recipients (five from kindergarten to second grade and five from third to fifth grade) who will receive a prize.

This year there will also be monthly Character Counts award recipients selected by classroom teachers and announced during the monthly assemblies.
