Character Counts Monthly, students will learn about a new character trait. At the end of each month, one student from each classroom, whose behavior exemplifies the Character Trait of the Month, will be awarded a certificate and invited to the Character Breakfast with Mrs. Perez! It is Plato Academy’s expectation that as we continue to emphasize positive character traits we will only continue to improve. February's character trait is Tolerance: Respecting the individual differences, views, and beliefs of other people. In Greek... This week's student of the week is....DYLAN! Congratulations!!
