Character Word for January
Westchester Country Day School's character word for January 2025 is RESILIENCE -- getting back up when something gets you down. The character word is emphasized by the color red ochre and the animal marine iguana.
Students will be learning what it means to have RESILIENCE 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 RESILIENCE 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.
