CITRS is our character education program; it is district-wide. Rodgers School has great enthusiasm for helping our young students embrace these virtues each month! Please scroll to the bottom to see all the virtues and definitions.
The CITRS program and team have provided the following definitions for grades K-4:
SEPTEMBER - Wisdom: Seeing what is right, what is truthful, and always knowing the right thing to do.
OCTOBER - Integrity: Following the rules, being honest, telling the truth, and doing what you say you are going to do.
NOVEMBER - Self-Control: The ability to control your feelings, emotions, reactions...and behavior.
DECEMBER - Justice: Treating other people fairly, as you would want to be treated yourself.
Also, it means "fair." Everyone gets what they need; fair and equal equality are not the same thing.
JANUARY - Fortitude: Sticking with it and doing the right thing when it is hard to do.
FEBRUARY - Positive Attitude: Thinking and believing that everything will turn out well in all that you do.
MARCH - Humility: Being confident without thinking you are better than someone else.
APRIL - Respect: Understanding how others think and feel, then treating them with kindness.
MAY - Love: Being a true friend who unconditionally gives and wants the absolute best for someone.
JUNE - Charity: Caring for and helping other people through acts of giving and service.
