student interest in reading through the use of materials that exemplify
the six core character traits. |
|
Increase
attendance during the school year through the use of incentives. |
|
Increase
student awareness and appreciation of cultural arts. |
|
Improve
connectedness among students through the provision of a student gathering
place. |
