PERSERVERANCE | Perseverance is one of the most important character traits children can develop during their elementary school years. From learning to read and solve math problems to developing friendships and overcoming setbacks, children encounter challenges every day. The ability to keep trying despite difficulties helps students build confidence, resilience and the skills they need for lifelong success.

HAPPY NATIONAL SCHOOL BACKPACK AWARENESS DAY! | National School Backpack Awareness Day, observed every third Wednesday of September, strives to ensure students wear backpacks safely. Improper use can lead to back pain and injury, impacting learning and overall well-being. Join educators, parents, and students to learn proper techniques and prevent strain. 3 Tips For Wearing A Backpack Safely: Use both straps - Slinging your backpack on one shoulder can lead to ​bad posture, and injury or pain. ​Adjust the height: Backpacks should be worn high on your back; they should sit an inch or two above your hips. ​ Use the waist and chest strap:
​The horizontal straps help distribute the weight and keep your load stable as you move. #BackpackAwarenessDay #BackpackHealth #SchoolBackpackSafety

As part of the Charity for Change curriculum, students act out a play that teaches the power of self-control. The students at Paterson Elementary took it to the next level by writing their own play and bringing it to life with handmade paper puppets.
Talk about thinking outside the box! 💡👏

Along with the nine character traits students learn through the Charity for Change curriculum, they also learn about different charities in their community. The current theme, Food, Shelter & Emergency, inspired students in the Shadowlawn Elementary afterschool program to take it a step further — learning how to prepare for a hurricane!
