Village Elementary School Character Education

GREAT Program from CPD Assists Students with Bullying Strategy

For the past six weeks the 4^th graders at Village Elementary have had the opportunity to participate in the G.R.E.A.T (Gang Resistance Education and Training) program.  Officer Manello and Officer Hamilton came in to the classrooms for 6 weeks to teach lessons on what is bullying and how to react to it, communication skills, strategies for reacting to anger issues, group differences, and how to be a G.R.E.A.T citizen.   

Students were engaged throughout each lesson by role playing many different scenarios.  "My class was bummed the one week we had to reschedule G.R.E.A.T.  They really enjoy Officer Manello coming in each week", explained fourth grade teacher, Kathy Shady.
