Be Appreciative Every Day

As one of the core elements of Georgia School’s character education program, the concept of appreciation is integrated into all aspects of the school’s culture and curriculum.  To be appreciative means, " to recognize, enjoy, and feel a sense of gratitude for the good qualities of someone or something."  Learning to be grateful is an important part of a child’s development, affecting familial relationships and a child’s perspectives on life and future planning.  The development of a healthful sense of appreciation helps to nurture kindness, compassion, generosity, trust, and respect within students.  

During GSN’s Winter Art Exhibition, students of all ages were asked to share their appreciations of the artwork of another student.  

GSN’s character education program is structured around the school’s 5 Agreements:

1.Truthfulness and Trustworthiness

2.Appreciation

3.Mutual Respect

4.Attentive Listening

5.Duty to Participate
