The Character Education Initiative is moving into its thirteenth year of
implementation and has received national recognition. The schools in Hamilton
County’s District have implemented various strategies to incorporate the
Character Education traits into their instructional programs.
Each month Spring Creek will promote a different character trait in and out of the classroom. Students will be learning different vocabulary words associated with each trait throughout the year. Don't forget to ask your child what this months character trait is!
