My Nonprofit Reviews

As a teacher, I accompanied a group of HIGH-ENERGY middle school boys to a week-long competition at the United States Space Academy in Huntsville Alabama.

The group of boys competed as a team during a week packed with firsthand future space travel experiences and faced opportunities to solve technically challenging anomalies during a mock space mission. On the fourth day of the competition, their camp counselor approached me with tears in her eyes.

Alarmed, I wondered if these outgoing middle school boys were causing a problem. To my relief, the camp counselor smiled and said, "There is something different about this group!" The next day, this team was awarded the 'BEST MISSION' award, the highest honor given during the week-long camp. This award was based on the team's application of the math and science skills plus their CHARACTER throughout the week!

Since these boys grew up with the HONORABLE CHARACTER System in school, I hung their team picture on the wall as a reminder that ALL students, even those more likely to need correction, can thrive with the HONORABLE CHARACTER Classroom Management System.
