EMPATHY: “Seek to Understand”

By Ryan Scott

Main Street School & Kindergarten Center Focused on EMPATHY for November 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. Other times, it is a real story about a stranger or it is someone very close like a friend or family member. I am very proud to announce the November 2024 EMPATHY Students of the Month. This month’s focus on Empathy is sponsored by Monical’s Pizza of Shelbyville & owner, Mark Shanks.
