Character Strong is an online platform we are using school-wide at Algoma Elementary this year. It aims to foster a positive school climate where students feel a sense of belonging and are equipped to handle challenges. It teaches students important life skills, such as:

• Be Kind: Focuses on empathy, respect, cooperation, and social skills.

• Be Strong: Emphasizes responsibility, courage, perseverance, and goal setting.

• Be Well: Promotes emotional regulation, stress management, gratitude, and honesty.

Each month there is a school-wide focus. November's focus is Gratitude. Care Giver information is linked below.
