Courage - Character Word for March

Courage is being brave enough to do what you should do even when you're afraid or unsure.

Mr. Hayes caught our student council officers and representatives displaying and showing their courage by helping younger students. These students are great examples for their younger peers.

Justin Elrod (4th grade representative on the student council) shares his favorite story from the 3rd grade reading text. The 3rd graders were excited that he shared with them his memories of reading in 3rd grade.

Haley Yoder (Vice President) worked one-on-one with one of Ms. Robertson's 3rd graders. Haley is one of our Gilbert Morning News Show reporters.

Corbet Neal (background), Zach Matthews and Jake Neal (4th grade representative) worked hard with students as they assisted Ms. Robertson in reading class.

Kelsey Payne (student council representative) thought it was neat helping other students. She thought it was an act of courage to teach. She did an awesome job!

Corbet Neal (Secretary) shared with 3rd graders his memories of taking the 3rd grade CRCT, but quickly emphasized the importance of working hard as they prepare for the 5th grade CRCT. He said everything they do from here on out will prepare them for 5th grade. Corbet spoke highly of Ms. Robertson and Ms. Krouse.

Zach Matthews (Historian) doesn't mind helping other students. He was a very big help with students in 3rd grade this week.

Other students wanted Justin Elrod to help them with questions. He had to revisit some of the students. He was a very popular teacher aide on this visit with third graders.

Great job to all of our young student leaders. Ms. Robertson and Mr. Hayes are very proud of the student council officers and representatives at Gilbert.
