GRAVETTE — Glenn Duffy March PAWS students, from the left, Nerlinda Ada, Niketas Delgato, C. J. Ogle, Jaelen Wangard, Angel Wolfe, and Emily Denver.

The PAWS program incorporates character education into the school community. Each month a PAWS skill is chosen and discussed in classroom guidance in relation to character education.

The character word for March is “honesty.” President George Washington suggested, “Have the strength to be an honest person.” PAWS awards are given in the classroom, hallway and cafeteria as an incentive for students to practice the PAWS skill for the month. Students are recognized at Rise & Shine assemblies. PAWS student of the month T-shirts are sponsored by the Glenn Duffy Elementary PTO.
