Dear Monarch Families,

     Denison & Broadway Elementary are excited to share that we have adopted a new Character Education Program titled, PurposeFull People.  This program is a part of the Character Strong Program that has been adopted by our school district. 

The program emphasizes the following:

1.) Ten character traits that are meant to instill and develop positive habits within our students.

        Courage      Respect      Perserverence      Grateful      Honest     

           Kindness      Empathy      Responsibility      Cooperation      Creativity

2.) Opportunities for reinforcement within their classroom

3.) Resources with families to help support the traits at home

By going together as a district, that meant we needed to move beyond Character Counts! and the six pillars of character we have focused on for the past 18 years.  We have made the most of this character program at DES, but as part of the school district, we are excited to have a PK-12 character program that will follow the kids from preschool through high school!

Sincerely,
