This program relates to the total development of students, it is important to remember what a complete student is. A complete student is one who succeeds academically, but also portrays a strong moral character, with a clear sense of right and wrong. Helping your children develop values such as honesty, self-reliance, and dependability is as important a part of their education as teaching them to read, write. We are hopeful this program will have a positive impact on the daily life within each classroom and with the relationships outside the classroom. This is the primary step that everyone can take in establishing the moral environment of America. We all need to work towards universal values that affirm life and enhance everyone's health and happiness. Parents, Educators, and the Community play an important role in the process of what is right and good for our common life as Americans. Lets work together to teach the children the values that can best protect them from the influences of peer pressure and the temptations of consumer culture. With their own values clearly defined, the children can make their own decisions-rather than imitate their friends. St. Mary School hopes to present a practical, proven, month-by-month Character Education Program for their students. |
The
" CHARACTER EDUCATION PROGRAM " has been described as what
we do to help students know the good, love the good,
and do the good. The great power and benefit of
Character Education is its appeal to the student's
head, heart, and hands.
