Character Strong

This year, Evergreen has been using the Character Strong program to learn about and practice positive character traits each month - like honesty, kindness, gratitude and empathy. Character Strong also created activities and challenges for families to do at home, because it's important to practice these traits everywhere!  Below is a link to the Family Dares for you to try at home.
