EMPATHY: “Seek to Understand”
By Ryan Scott
Main Street School & Kindergarten Center Focused on EMPATHY for October as our character Trait of the Month. I am glad that we chose this trait because the kids did “get it.” They have all felt this before but now they know what it is and that it is a good thing. Sometimes it is a fictional character like in a book or movie, sometimes it is a real story about a stranger & sometimes it is someone very close like a friend of family member. I am very proud to announce the October 2023 EMPATHY Students of the Month. This month’s focus on Empathy is sponsored by Monical’s Pizza of Shelbyville & owner, Mark Shanks.
