PurposeFULL People Debuts

Happy May Day. 

Today I'm over-the-moon with gratitude and delight to help launch 

Character Strong's newest Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and Character resource, their comprehensive K-5 Toolkit, PurposeFULL People.

Last June, just as I was retiring from my school position,

John Norlin and Houston Kraft kindly invited me to join their team

 and help make this Elementary Toolkit dream of theirs a reality.

And what a collaboration it has been.

Ten essential traits, like Courage, Honesty, Kindness,

Perseverance, Empathy, Creativity, Gratitude.

One incredible enrichment resource

to bring these essentials to life in your character building.

Engaging activities and object lessons,

brain breaks with meaningful movement,

quotes with brilliantly-colored printable posters,

mindfulness exercises,

book recommendations,

scenarios, role plays,

songs, dances, reflections, and more.

And what could the P possibly stand for?

Play?

Peace? 

Purpose?

Yep, there's even a Playground piece with strategies

to help our young peeps connect with purpose at recess.

But wait, there's more! Character challenges for staff, 

and a school-to-home component, 

to continue to convo,

build family connections, 

and strengthen family relationships.

Then tune in to today's Character Strong podcast to hear

Houston Kraft and me talking through the Toolkit.

Here's a sound bite to pique your curiosity:

It's a big big day for us and for character campuses everywhere;

prepare to be wowed by this epic Toolkit designed to

intentionally celebrate and grow your PurposeFULL People

by weaving this {heart} work into every fiber of your school's fabric, 

not only on debut day, but every moment of every single day.
