The consistent language that this program has provided, for not only our staff but for our children, has helped them to understand their strengths as well as identify areas to improve upon, coming to this conclusion on their own!

I think that students gain personal strength from the program. The students gained self-confidence. It’s confirmation that they have strengths, and our students don’t always get this at home. It gives them a chance to hear positives throughout the day, from their teachers and their peers.

What Students Say
If some one is being bullied I can stand up for them
and use my BRAVERY strength.
I used my CURIOSITY to ask different questions
about things that I didn't understand.
SELF-CONTROL: The strength not to talk when somebody is talking to me, so I don't get in trouble.
TEAMWOR, HUMOR, and PERSEVERANCE - it worked like magic because every time I used these strengths it seemed like everyone, including me, got something in return.
