THOMASTON — Several Thomaston Grammar School students were recognized for their respectfulness at a school-wide assembly on Friday, Sept. 28.

Showing respect is the most important trait that each one of us should possess and practice, according to a TGS news release. Respect for oneself and for schoolmates includes paying attention to others’ feelings, emotions, and physical well-being.

Respect for adults and respect for the physical plant of our school all add up to being exemplary members of the TGS community.

The children who have earned this recognition for respect show the following attributes: they are active listeners and problem solvers with peers; they accept direction from adults; and they know that TGS is a place of learning and of building relationships with each other.

Virginia Davis was also presented with this month’s Principal’s Award.

According to the release: “Virginia is a fabulous member of the Thomaston Grammar School community. She is respectful, responsible, helpful, conscientious, kind, and so much more. She is always on task and does precisely what is asked of her at all times. She continually asks her teachers how she can help or what she can do next. She cares about the thoughts and feelings of others above her own. She is always the first to offer a smile or a kind word.”

Congratulations to all the students who received awards at TGS this month!
