The Word of the Week is ... Sportsmanship! What does it mean to be a good sport? A good loser? A gracious winner? How can we model this behavior for those around us?

The word of the week is ... Responsible! How do we model being responsible for our children? How do we explain the importance of and meaning of such an intangible, yet vital concept?

This week's Word of the Week is ... Pride.

The Word of the Week is ... Courage! #jrdswordoftheweek #jrdsteachescharacter #jrdschool

It's the end of another quick week at school, AND it's Mr. York's birthday! He received lots of extra love today, but when second grade sang "Happy Birthday" to him, that had to be one of the cutest! #happybirthday #jrds2ndgrade
