BEES S.T.I.N.G. Traits-STING LIKE A BEE
At BEES, we foster a culture of character and personal growth through our STING traits, which represent the core values we aim to instill in every student. These traits guide behavior, shape our community, and prepare students for success both in and beyond the classroom.
S – Social Responsibility: Students develop an awareness of their role in the community and the impact of their actions. We encourage empathy, integrity, and a commitment to making positive contributions to society.
T – Teamwork: We emphasize collaboration, mutual respect, and the importance of working effectively with others to achieve shared goals.
I – Interpersonal Self-Control: Students learn to manage their emotions, respond thoughtfully in challenging situations, and build positive relationships with peers and adults.
N – Niceness: Kindness, respect, and consideration for others are fundamental to creating a welcoming and inclusive school environment.
G – Grit: We cultivate perseverance, resilience, and a strong work ethic, empowering students to overcome obstacles and pursue their goals with determination.
Together, these STING traits embody the values that help our students thrive as learners, friends, and future leaders.
