Character Lessons
Students receive character education lessons through multiple sources. Teachers provide Character Trait lessons weekly using Character Strong®. Our school counselor provides characters education lessons using her counselor resource and classroom teachers also provide social skills lessons using the Character Strong® curriculum.
