CharacterPlus spent 3 inspiring days with Santa Fe South Schools in OKC, visiting campuses, connecting with leaders, and planning their journey toward National Schools of Character.

❄️ It's a snow day for many schools in our region! Stay safe, be careful on slick surfaces, keep warm, and show character! Shovel a neighbor’s walk, check in on someone, help at home, or share kindness. 💙☃️🧡

Learning and service in action. 💙
Last week, the CharacterPlus team combined professional development with giving back. Alongside other volunteers, we processed 23,200 lbs of food at the St Louis Area Foodbank. What a way to celebrate the season of giving!
