Character Education

Character Heroes Take Over Crabapple Crossing!!!

Character Heroes have definitely taken over at Crabapple Crossing Elementary!!! Character Heroes is an
outstanding Character Education program that was adopted and started the first of September. Each month the
students learn a character education word. During the month, the students place the names of their peers that
exhibit that trait into a decorative shoebox in their classroom. At the end of the month, each teacher will draw
one name out of the box and the lucky winner will receive a FREE kid’s meal at Shane’s BBQ. We are so excited
about our “Character Hero” program and we thank our very generous business partner Shane’s BBQ for
their support in this endeavor.

Your continuous support at home is always appreciated.
