January's Character Trait: Perseverance

January’s character trait is perseverance, and it’s the perfect theme for this time of year. Winter can bring shorter days, tougher routines, and moments when learning feels a little harder. But it also offers wonderful opportunities for students to practice sticking with challenges, trying again, and discovering their own resilience.
This month, we’re celebrating the small steps, the brave attempts, and the steady progress that help children grow. Whether they’re tackling a new skill, pushing through a tricky assignment, or simply showing up with determination, our students are learning that perseverance helps them shine even on the coldest days.
Here’s to a month of courage, effort, and the confidence that comes from not giving up. Just like our school mascot- the tardigrade!
