Character Education
Show your character!
Character education is an important part of elementary education. It takes a strong partnership of parents, teachers, administrators, and children working together to develop positive character traits. Volunteers are needed to help with this great program! Parent volunteers spend about 30 min each month in the classroom teaching a short lesson that relates to the month's character trait. Contact Heather Cook for more information or to volunteer. |
Character Traits |
Our character trait for January is Forgiveness. The new year is often thought of as a good time to make a fresh start, and we can teach our kids that sometimes our relationships, too, need a "fresh start." The process can begin with reflecting on where things have gone wrong and then asking for (or granting) forgiveness. Please print out our Forgiveness Statement and post it in a prominent place at home.

Thank you for supporting Character Education at Miramar Ranch.
At Miramar Ranch, we practice Forgiveness:
- We admit when we've done something wrong or made a mistake.
- When we are wrong, we say, "I'm sorry," and we try to make things right again.
- We remember that everyone makes mistakes and we accept the apologies of others.
- We do not bring up past mistakes or gossip about what others did wrong.
- We move on and are friends again.
