January Character Word: RESPONSIBILITY
Responsibility
HOW TO BE
A RESPONSIBLE PERSON
(AND FEEL GREAT!)
When you agree to do
something, do it. If you let people down, they'll
stop believing you. When you follow through on your commitments, people take
you seriously.A RESPONSIBLE PERSON
(AND FEEL GREAT!)
Take care of your own matters. Don't rely on adults to remind you when you're supposed to be somewhere or what you're supposed to bring. You take the responsibility.
Be trustworthy. If somebody trusts you to borrow or take care of something, take care of it. If somebody tells you something in confidence, keep it to yourself. It's important for people to know they can count on you.
Don't put things off. When you have a job to do, do it. Doing things on time helps you
take control of your life and shows that you can manage your own affairs.

GoodCharacter.com**
Please email me at mperrow@woodridge.k12.oh.us when you catch your child acting responsibly. I will be happy to share the short note with his/her class during our Friendship Workshop lessons.
