Character Award

The elementary school that Evan attends implements a character program. In this program various skills are introduced, modeled, and taught in the hope of building core ethical values with the students. There are six pillars or values in the program: caring, trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, and citizenship. Each week the guidance counselor comes to the classroom and provides mini-lessons with these core values. The program is coming to an end, and the classroom teacher chose the students in the classroom that best represent the core values. Evan won the citizenship prize for "obeying the class rules, cooperating with others, contributing in a positive way to the community, and taking care of the environment." We are so proud of him!
