2009-2010 Character Counts Campaign-"Moovin' on UP!"

Our return to school found us excited and ready to start our new year with a brand new focus in our Character Education Program. Having measured our last year's campaign, "We've Got the POWER," as quite successful, our hopes are to continue that development of great character skills, therefore, we found it most appropriate to title this year's campaign, "Moovin' on UP!"
Following is a brief outline of our program. We sincerly hope you will take pride in knowing that we are doing our very best to insure that your students are becoming all they can be both in the classroom and out in the world. We hope, too, that you will engage with us and become our partners as we accomplish this endeavor.
