As we enter December, I want to take a moment to reflect on the wonderful highlights from November. Our Thanksgiving Parade and Assembly were shining examples of how students demonstrate the Rutherford Profile of a Graduate competencies. From their creativity in designing their parade projects, to their collaboration and communication in working together, they truly embodied excellence. It was inspiring to see their hard work and pride on full display. Washington students also continue to embrace our Word of the Week program. Throughout the past month, words like honesty, self control, and thankful have guided our students in developing essential character traits. They have applied these values in classrooms, friendships, and daily routines. Another highlight has been the success of our Lunchbox, Water Bottle, Jacket Challenge! This initiative encourages students to show responsibility by keeping track of their belongings. The progress we have seen has been remarkable- small challenges can inspire big growth!
Looking ahead to December, our focus will be on the value of generosity- not just in giving gifts but in sharing kindness, time and support with one another. As we move into the holiday season, we will continue to build on these important lessons. I hope this time of the year brings joy, warmth, and special moments. Thank you for helping to make Washington School a place of learning, growth , and community. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season!
