CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION TO STUDENTS

January 18, 2008

Character building lessons are taught with as much fervor as reading, writing, math and science on a daily basis at Amy Beverland. A school-wide Positive Behavior Program is an integral part of each day, and in fact a documented component of the school’s No Child Left Behind strategies. Kevin Wanzer is a humorous and nationally recognized presenter who will help reinforce the school’s character building efforts, and also serve as a launch pad for a new PTA program called “Kids of Character” to support the efforts of teachers and staff. Kevin will be at Amy Beverland Elementary on Friday, January 18, 2008 from 1:30 to 3:00 pm.
