Character Education Awards (Grades 1 to 6)

Each month students will be introduced to our school's character education focus during an assembly. Students are encouraged to demonstrate this character ed during the month, and at the end of the month, multiple students will be recognized by our principal and receive a special certificate from their teacher.
