Project Evaluations
The Virtues Program is implemented school-wide with a yearly rotated
virtue-of-the-month schedule disseminated at the beginning of each
school year. The goal is to weave the virtue into the fabric of
the curriculum as well as to highlight the monthly concept in special
virtue classes dedicated to the understanding and implementation
of the core value into students lives. Each month we send
home with every child a tabletop discussion card that prompts family
participation by structuring week-by-week consideration of the virtue.
The Home and School Association has
generously purchased a variety of materials to support and enhance
the project and has dedicated the virtue project as a priority to
continue to support.
Last spring a school-wide Career
Day was held at school. Speakers were asked to include in their
presentation the ways that living the virtuous life impacted their
daily adult workday as well as their personal lives. This underscored
the practical applications of leading a virtuous life for our students.
The Virtues Program is an on-going
process for us as a school community to grow in virtue both personally
and as a group.
