The Aledo ISD Board of Trustees recognized the first group of students named Bearcats of Character for the 2023-2024 school year on Tuesday, Sept. 19, for the character trait curiosity.
As a part of the district's character education program called the Positivity Project or P2, the district each month recognizes the good character on display by the great students across all of Aledo ISD.
P2 says that someone displaying curiosity likes to explore and discover, and that curiosity is an important character strength because curious individuals are more likely to ask questions and try new things, which is how we all learn and grow. At its core, curiosity is a form of courage because everyone is naturally curious, but not everyone is willing to experience it and share their curiosity.

Kinley Morrow, 4th grade Stuard Elementary School Albert Einstein once said, "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."

She always strives to know more and learn more about the world around her. Through her questioning and curiosity she brings a vibrancy to our class and the world. |
