Month of September Newsletter
What is the Positivity Project?
The mission of the Positivity Project is to empower America's children and youth to build strong relationships by seeing the character strengths in themselves and others.
We want to consistently remind students why they're learning about these character stregnths: to build positive relationships that are grounded in an understanding, appreciation, and exemplification of the strengths.
