Code of Character Traits: P.A.R.K.
Over the next few weeks, you will hear more and more about Lake Bluff's character traits. In English, they make the acronym: P.A.R.K., or park! P.A.R.K. stands for perseverance, advocacy, respect, and kindness. It is a fun way to remember all of the areas where we can grow and help each other to be better humans and create a better world for everyone. Students are working together with teachers in their classroom crews to think about what these character traits look like, sound like, and feel like at school.
