Each month selected art students will be creating character education banners that will be displayed at our school and also on the Abbeville square. Each month Mrs. Lewis, our guidance counselor, will be teaching group guidance classes featuring our word of the month. She will also publish a monthly newsletter on our character education word of the month to be sent home to parents so they can help their child with the word of the month. Each month the guidance counselor will be sending each teacher curriculum ideas for the word of the month.
All classes use a variety of activities to teach the meaning of the word of the month.
These activities include the use of classroom community meetings, character ed. Each teacher evaluates their students on a set point scale for their use and understanding of the word of the month. Each month all classroom nominees for the student of the month are interviewed by members of our town's Rotary Club. They are rated on their understanding of the character education word of the month. These scores, combined with those scores given by the teachers, and those scores from their essays, determine our school winners for student of the month.
