Character Trait for April-This month, we're focusing on the character trait of Decision Making. Students will learn that we all have the power to decided what we do and what we say. We are responsible for consquences of the decisions we make. Now that students have spent this school year learning about the Six Pillars of Character, they can use that knowledge to help them make the best decisions possible for themselves and the people around them.
