Project Head, Heart and Hands
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.
