Aviator Character Education Awards: Respect


We have T.R.R.F.C.C. Character at William Wood Elementary! T.R.R.F.C.C stands for Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. Today we honored students for their respect in the classroom. During our Aviator Character Education Awards (ACE Awards), the TX 956 JROTC students led by their instructor, Major Craig Nordskog taught the students about RESPECT. One of our principal's former students recalled the respect he had for Mrs. Schuelke and how he showed his respect with a red apple on her desk. The cadets gave apples to eight students and they were directed to give their apples to their teachers to demonstrate the respect they have for them.

 ACE Award presentations followed the speeches by the JROTC. Kindergarten and First Grade were named Wingmen of Respect. Second and Third Grade Students were named Pilots of Respect. And Fourth and Fifth Grade students were named Aces of Respect. Congratulations to all of our ACE Award Recipients. You are leaders in your classroom and everywhere you go! #Aviator Pride

The Beauty of Resiliency

Resiliency is the bounce-back-ability to continue moving forward through difficult times. Over the last few weeks, Victoria and its surrounding communities have shown resiliency. I look into the classrooms and I see each child and staff member shining bright like diamonds. They have shown strength under great pressure and stress. This is the beauty of resiliency. We are resilient and will continue to shine brighter each day. #BetterTogether
