Artisan of the Month

Purpose:

The purpose of a school-wide character education program is to encourage lifelong social and academic success of students and emphasize a cooperative and supportive school climate by instilling and reinforcing strong moral and ethical character within the school community.

Overview:

The Artisan of the Month program at ArtSpace will consist of the following:

• Monthly trait: each month of the school year will focus on a different character trait related to the 4 pillars (Effort, Leadership, Service, Respect). The trait of the month will be posted in common areas of the school. 
• Beth Garrison compiled a book list that corresponds to each month’s trait for optional class readings. 
• Artisans of the month: teachers and staff can opt to nominate a student (from any class) who they feel represents the monthly trait by completing a nomination form via google forms (which will be sent out monthly). All nominees will receive a certificate, be mentioned on the morning announcements, featured in a spotlight on the school website.
