In the Diocese of Rochester, physical education teachers utilize the Sports Medicine for the Soul program, which focuses on developing character through sports in connection with Catholic teachings. There are ten character traits developed throughout this program, which include, strong character, positive attitude, respect, confidence, integrity, mental strength, good sportspersonship, good communication, healthy choices, and self-reflection skills. Each month, our physical education teacher, Miss Kolb focuses on different character traits with our students. Beginning this quarter of the school year, students from each grade who go above and beyond to demonstrate a character trait focused on during each month, will be chosen to receive a certificate and a small prize. The following students received this recognition for the month of November:
