December MMM Recess for Respect Celebration

At AC Whelan, our Monthly Morning Meeting (MMM) Team brings our school community together each month to highlight a core value such as Friendship, Respect, Kindness, and Growth Mindset. Each month begins with a Zoom lesson shared with all classrooms to introduce the value and its meaning. Throughout the month, staff members observe students who consistently model the look-fors and nominate them to be honored at our celebration.

Today, we proudly celebrated 32 outstanding students from Kindergarten through Grade 5 who were nominated by staff for being true leaders of Respect. These students demonstrated respect by using kind and appropriate language, listening to others, following expectations, and showing care for their peers and our school environment.

To honor their efforts, students earned a special additional 20-minute recess, recognizing the positive choices they make each day and the example they set for others. The extra time together was a fun and meaningful way to celebrate students who help make AC Whelan a respectful, safe, and welcoming community.

Our Respect Celebration highlighted what makes AC Whelan special: students taking responsibility for their actions, treating others with kindness, and showing pride in their school.

We are so proud of our students for being role models of Respect and for showing what it means to be a respectful Whelan Whale! 🐋💙
