Character Education at O'Hara

As part of the mission of O'Hara Catholic School, we are devoted and dedicated to the education of the whole child. An important component of that is the social and emotional development and growth of our children.
 
We began a new program in the 2017-18 school year called Cloud9World. 
 
This program emphasizes and builds upon: 

• Recognition of character strengths in self and others
• Empathy for others
• Self-efficacy in decision-making
• Positive collaboration and social interactions
• Critical thinking and reasoning
• Positive behaviors (what I do) as part of embracing character strengths (who I am)
• Expression and application of character strengths at school, home, and in community

We will be focusing on different traits each month in the 20-21 school year:
     September:  Patience
     October:  Unity
     November/December:  Respect 
     January:  Cooperation
     February:  Love
     March:  Integrity
     April:  Kindness
     May:  Courage
 
Every year, we will focus on different traits as this program is designed to be a 3-4 year cycle.
