3rd Grade Students Express Respect during Recess

Posted by Cecilia Cooper, School Psychologist

The "E" in BEST stands for "Express Respect". Many students have been observed expressing respect during their recess time. Particularly, this has been noted while the 3rd grade goes outside to the playground for recess. Many students have taken it upon themselves to pick up various pieces of litter and trash (e.g., papers, coffee cups, wrappers, plastic bags, juice boxes) and throwing them away in the outdoor waste bin, without being asked. These students are taking time away from their own recess to demonstrate respect for their environment and school property.  

Here are a few examples of CGS 3rd grade students cleaning up our playground. Thank you Tyler, Welfry, and Nicholas for making CGS the BEST!
