November Champion of Character: Isabella Barritt 🌟
Character Trait: Initiative 💙
This month, we're proud to recognize MBP's 6th grader, Isabella Barritt, for her incredible display of initiative and leadership. When her bus driver experienced a medical emergency, Isabella calmly took action — comforting students, helping the driver’s child, and even assisting a substitute driver in finishing the route.
Her quick thinking, compassion, and steady presence turned a stressful moment into one filled with support and kindness. And this wasn’t a one-time thing. Isabella consistently steps up to help younger students, supports sub drivers, and leads by example every single day.
💛 Thank you, Isabella, for showing us what it truly means to lead with heart.
