🌟🚦 At Willowbrook, our students are guided by six key dispositions that light the way on their learning journey and beyond! 🚦🌟 These dispositions—Problem Solving, Perseverance, Self-Control, Empathy, Integrity, and Positive Attitude—are the foundation of what we believe every student needs to succeed in school and life. 🏅 You’ll see them proudly displayed throughout our school on light posts, in hallways as street signs, and highlighted in our assemblies like the Head of the Herd Awards, Perfect Peanut Awards, and more! 🏅 Through classroom guidance lessons, morning meetings, school wide assemblies, school announcements, and everyday interactions, our students and staff consistently celebrate and acknowledge those who live out these dispositions. Together, we build a community of strong, resilient learners. 💪💡 Learn more about our Willowbrook Dispositions, part of our Profile of a Willowbrook Graduate, and see how we empower students to lead with character and purpose. #WillowbrookDispositions #CharacterCounts #WeAreWillowbrook #StrongLearners #SuccessInLife #WillowbrookWay
