Character Word for October
Westchester Country Day School's character word for October 2024 is SELF-CONTROL -- choosing to do what's best even when you don't want to. The character word is emphasized by the color gray and the animal coyote.
Students will be learning what it means to have SELF-CONTROL during a community meeting and classroom guidance lessons throughout the month. Parents can read the newsletter linked below or listen to the Core Essential Values podcast to learn more about how to support students in developing SELF-CONTROL at home.
Westchester follows the Core Essential Values character education program, which helps teach students to treat others right, make smart decisions, and maximize their potential through a focus on a monthly character trait. This is one of the ways WCDS emphasizes the pillar of moral excellence.
