Every month we focus on a different positive character trait. One student from our class will be honored by being named our Student of the Month.
The acronym we use for our monthly character building goals is JEMS CARES. JEMS stands for John E McCarthy School! Here are those same letters written vertically:
Jumping off to a good start
Effort (academic effort, that is)
Manners
School Spirit
Cooperation
Assertion
Responsibility
Empathy
Self control
The character trait we are working on for September is Jumping Off to a Good Start.

What is something from the orange you will NOT do to jump off to a good start?
