CHARACTERCOUNTS!
 at Kreamer Street School

At Kreamer St. each month, students are learning one of the six words of character: Trustworthy, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.   Classroom discussions are bubbling with examples of how to develop good character.  At the end of each month, students are commended for showing one of the character traits.  They are then photographed as a group and placed on a display in the main hallway.

Students in Kindergarten classes are given a special character crown with the character word written on it to show everyone they are royal examples of good character.  In the upper grades, students are given a Character Counts bracelet to be worn throughout the day to let everyone know which character trait they have shown. 

After the Character Pledge is read each morning on the announcements, character testimonies, written by the students of Kreamer Street, are also read to let us all know of small and wonderful acts of good character that are happening each and every day.  Students develop a sense of pride when they listen along with the entire school how they showed good character.   We are very proud to say that students at Kreamer Street continuously show us that Character Counts!  Thanks to Ms. Hughes for creating a special Character Counts box for each class!
