Character Education

Character Education is a huge part of elementary education. We strive to make sure that each child is successful emotionally and socially, as well as academically. Throughout the year, each classroom holds "Grizzly Den Meetings". The teacher focuses on one Core Value/Character trait for the month, and each trait is broken down into specific areas.

For the months of August and September, we are focusing on Compassion.

Compassion is helping others in need. Below you will find songs, books and activities that focus on Compassion.
