Learner Profile Trait for November

Barry Goldwater is an International Baccalaureate (IB) school.  As such we aspire to fulfill the traits embodied in the Learner Profile. Each month we will highlight and celebrate one of these traits.

The Learner Profile trait that we will focus on for the month of November is Caring.  We show empathy, compassion and respect. We have a commitment to service, and we act to make a positive difference in the lives of others and in the world around us.

The Learner Profile Quote of the Day is:   “My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring.”
