Project Heart, Head, Hands, which was recently adopted by Galt Joint Union Elementary School District, is designed to help instill good character traits in students by focusing on three areas:

. Heart Fostering development of character traits using the Eight Great Traits caring, honesty, responsibility, integrity, respect for others, citizenship, planning and decision making and problem solving.

. Head Building social-emotional skills (e.g. effective communication, conflict resolution).

. Hands Engaging students in service learning, meaning performing acts of service for their communities.
