My son the Character

At Jacob's school they do not do the typical student of the month program. Instead they give student of character awards. The school is big on teaching the children not just academics but moral character too. They have "6 pillars of strength" that they emphasize. They are caring, fairness, respect, responsibility, trustworthiness and citizenship. Well both last year and this year Jake has received an award of Student of Character the very first month of school. The award says he has demonstrated strength of character with action. Nice to see my character (which I often call him) also has great personal character.
