12/19/11

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Lower School students are taught and adhere to a “Values Code” which teaches them honesty, respect, responsibility, self-control, hard work, self-respect, concern for others, tolerance, cooperation, fairness, forgiveness, courage and self-knowledge. Students recite the Values Code each morning together and are rewarded for behaving according to the Values Code.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School students in grades K-12 exhibit concern for others in the collection of gifts for its Adopt-A-Family Program. Students are encouraged to bring in wrapped gifts for a selected family.

Recently, 1^st grade students in Mrs. Medvigy’s class were rewarded with a “Pajama Day” for their work to follow the Values Code.  Mrs. Medvigy’s class also collected over 50 gifts for their “Adopted Family”. The 1^st graders’ participation in this outreach program demonstrates that they have great concern for others.
