Character Strong is a school wide program that focuses on character development in order to help students cultivate social-emotional skills, emotional intelligence, and develop a stronger identity and purpose in school and the world. Every other week your student will be participating in a Character Strong lesson. When students learn the value of kindness, service, and empathy, they don't just walk out of school being competent at math and science - they walk away being capable, compassionate people.
