Marrington Elementary School has a very special Character Education Program.    It is called “Virtue of the Month.”  Each month, the teachers select a child that best demonstrates a specific Character Virtue that we have learned about in Classroom Guidance.  A letter is sent home to the parents, informing them that their child has been honored!  The featured virtue for the month of May was “Cooperation.”  Each child received a certificate and a button with his/her “virtue” of it.   The recipients are also featured on a Virtue of the Month bulletin board located in the hall in front of the cafeteria. The ability to cooperate is a virtue that will serve children well throughout their lives.  In school, a job or in life, cooperativeness is a wonderful quality that will ultimately be recognized and rewarded.
