Character Counts at Morning Creek Elementary

THE COLT WAY- “Do the right thing, even when no one is watching.”

Classrooms hold morning meetings and greet one another to build community within the class and across the school. We help students understand that they make character count by making good choices, even when no one is watching. 

We recite our Colt Way Pledge at each Friday Flag:
I will be trustworthy.  I will be respectful.  I will be responsible.  I will be fair.  I will be caring. I will be a good citizen.

Respect:
