    PRIDE 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. Each month, a student is selected as a Bulldog Buddy for embracing these virtues in our classroom.  We celebrate these students!

    The PRIDE program and team have provided the following definitions:

    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.
