Counselor’s Character Corner<br />
The character trait for the month of October is respect and students have been involved in<br />
classroom lessons on how to show respect toward others. Lessons have focused on how to use<br />
respect when addressing conflicts. The program being used is called Kelso’s Choice.<br />
This program helps teach young students effective ways to deal with conflict. Students have also<br />
been taught that if they have a big problem they are to get help from a grown-up right away.<br />
Conflict or disagreement is normal and often happens when children get together. However,<br />
hurtful words, gestures, or physical attacks are unacceptable ways to deal with conflict and<br />
disagreement at school. Our goal is to teach students several positive ways to deal with these<br />
difficult situations.<br />
The wheel of choices below is what children are encouraged to use. Please talk with your children<br />
about the many choices they have to work out conflicts and discuss different situations where<br />
they can choose the various options to solve a conflict.

Re: Fall Program<br />
The fifth grade students and students in the 4/5HA will be<br />
presenting their fall music program “Music Matters” on October 9,<br />
2012 in the <strong>Reagan</strong> gym. The program will begin at 6:30PM.<br />
Students should meet in the <strong>Reagan</strong> cafeteria at 6:15 to line up for the program.<br />
Students should wear black or navy blue slacks and a short-sleeved tee shirt or polo shirt that<br />
is white. Girls may wear a black dress or skirt or Capris.<br />
We are looking forward to performing for all of the parents,<br />
families and friends.<br />
Thanks in advance for all of your help in making this program an<br />
enjoyable experience for your students.<br />
Please feel free to call me with any questions at 852-1060 ext. 2619 or<br />
email me at medwards@brownsburg.k12.in.us.<br />
Program Reminder!!!!<br />
On the Spot Productions will be videotaping our programs for<br />
us as they have in previous years. You will have the opportunity<br />
to order a DVD the evening of the performance.<br />
Payment will be expected with the order form on the night of the<br />
program (orders will not be taken any other day), and the DVD<br />
will be sent to your home in approximately two weeks.<br />
Only the Fifth Grade and 4/5 HA class program will be included on the DVD.<br />
The cost of the DVDs is $20.00. You may pay by check or cash or credit card.<br />
This is not a fundraiser for <strong>Reagan</strong> nor does <strong>Reagan</strong> receive any of the proceeds from<br />
the sale of the DVDs. This is simply a service offered by this company.
