RELATED FACTS

S.T. Worden emphasizes respect, courage

COURTICE -- At S.T. Worden Public School, we are truly 'Howling For Success.' We use respect, fairness, optimism, responsibility, initiative, honesty, perseverance, empathy and courage to help us become the best we can be on a daily basis. These are some of the qualities that remind me of my school motto.

Respect is something you don't come by every day -- you earn it. For example, in our school we have peer mediators. That is where a student is taught to help solve problems for others with respect and dignity.

Fairness can be shown in the simplest of ways. In Mr. Duval's Grade 7 class we all had turns learning how the Smart Board works. Everyone participated equally.

Now, one of the big fundraisers we do every year is the Terry Fox Run. We show optimism in everyone by walking to raise money to find a cure for cancer.

There are many opportunities to be a leader at S.T. Worden. These leaders take charge and show initiative. We have student library helpers, lunch lady helpers and announcers. These are just a few of the leaders.

Honesty is a quality we want in our friendships. It helps us rely and trust each other in the classroom and outside.

Perseverance is one quality that stands out to me because at S.T. Worden we strive to be the best we can at school sports, on school trips and in our daily work. We may not win many championships, but we celebrate by being good sports.

In the future, S.T. Worden students will remember the motto and keep on doing the best they can.
