On October 6th, Berlin Elementary Principal Ms. Kent, Assistant Principal Ms. Cataldo and the Character Education Committee hosted the monthly Character Education assembly for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade.
A wonderful reciting of the Mountaineer Mantra lead by: Micah Ehntholt, Madison Miner, Daniel Hart, Phoebe Brooks and Mason Fowler kicked off the assembly.
This was followed by a safety presentation about making good choices to protect yourself and others from getting hurt. Berlin CSD Safety Resource Officer Deputy McGuire also spoke during this portion and assured the students at BES he was there for their safety and to help support the whole school community.
This month’s assembly also focused on responsibility – being able to be trusted to do what you should and making good decisions. Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Hannigan created an engaging and fun Jeopardy game about what being responsible means at BES. The categories were recess, bathroom, bus, cafeteria and classroom. The Mountaineers had a blast with Ms. Hannigan as the hosts and together aced the round of Jeopardy. Way to go Mountaineers!
Being a Mountaineer means being responsible, safe and respectful. Merits will be given out each 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.
Congratulations to September’s Award recipients!
