Marrington Elementary is a one-of-a kind school where studying content is important but learning how to treat others takes top priority. The majority of my first graders are members of military families, which creates the unique situation of many students moving away or joining us at any moment throughout the school year. My students also quickly find their common bond of having mom and/or dad in the military and the struggles and joys that come with that. Because of the transient population and their military bond, I find that my students typically show a very caring attitude toward each other. I also stress the importance of using kind words, including others, and working together cohesively. My students truly become a family during the school year as they help each other to learn and grow.
