This program utilized a flexible and age appropriate approach that combines both formal character education curricula and stresses community based service programs that are designed to heighten our students' community involvement, increase peer interactions, enhance and broaden student leadership opportunities, and empower our students with greater community pride and civic awareness. Using a program called Inside Out, Sevier teachers and the PTA have discovered how supportive communities are for character education. Teachers and PTA volumteers organize activities in the clasroom, the schook, the home, and the community.
