Virtues Program
This year we are introducing the project "Virtues" to Mountain Elementary. There are 52 virtues and this school year we'll be focussing on one virtue a month. Please take the time to reinforce the virtues at home.
The Virtues Project is designed to give educators tools and strategies to help them shape character by creating a positive, empowering culture or environment in which children are learning and growing. These strategies can be easily integrated into the curriculum, the disciplinary system and social atmosphere of any school or organization. The Virtues Project is a positive, holistic program which has been used in many cultures and countries throughout the world to bring out the best in children and adults.
The character education of our children has become our first priority. It's time to make our schools caring communities where all students are encouraged to live by the virtues - the best within them. Too often, society looks for answers to problems after they occur. At Mountain, we believe that all children benefit from learning about the value and merits of virtuous behaviour. We teach this through classroom lessons, presentations at assemblies, displays in the foyer and P.A. announcements.
