CITRS Program: Character, Integrity, Trust, Relationships, Success
is now Bulldog PRIDE.
Bulldog PRIDE is our character education program, first implemented under CITRS; it is district-wide. J. Harvey Rodgers School has great enthusiasm for helping our young students embrace monthly virtues!
This is our third year applying these virtues to our daily interactions in school. Our hope is that the students will apply the virtues outside of school as well.
We are now using the acronym:
P R I D E
This reflects our core values:
Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Dependability, Empathy
Our Bulldog PRIDE team has provided the following definitions
for Rodgers School students:
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, and reactions
...and behavior, decisions, and choices. -LK
DECEMBER - Justice: Treating other people fairly, as you would want to be treated yourself.
Also, meaning "fair." Everyone gets what they need; fair and equal are not the same thing.

FEBRUARY - Positive Attitude: Thinking and believing that everything will turn out well in all that you do.
