The PAWS (”Pawsitive” and Wise Students) Program incorporates character education into the school community. Eachmonth a PAWS skill is chosen and discussed in classroom guidance in relation to character education. The theme for September is “thinking ahead.” PAWS awards are given in the classroom, hallway, cafeteria, etc., as an incentive for students to practice the PAWS skill for the month. Students are recognized at Rise & Shine assemblies and are awarded T-shirts by the Glenn Duffy Elementary PTO.
