Character: Be About It becomes part of the school team and the community. 

​Schools have a responsibility to teach more than reading, writing and arithmetic. The 12 character traits inherent in the Be About It program not only promote and encourage learning while in school, but also help children become morally responsible, principled and self-disciplined members of our community — ready for success in college or career.”

~ Dr. Jay D. Badams | Former Superintendent of Schools | Erie’s Public Schools, PA

Community Relations

​Teachers observe improvement in the morale, attendance and grades of the participating classes. Beyond the direct participants, there is a change in the overall school environment and the community.

Strong communities are built on strong individuals. Young people must cultivate resilience, to weather difficulties and make their contribution to a better world.
