Each week our students at Dranesville learn about one of 24 Positivity Project Character Strengths. Our partnership with you, as parents, is important in nurturing these character strengths in our Dragons. Together, we will develop leaders and citizens who will strengthen our communities and country by internalizing the belief that "Other People Matter".
We will use our Dranesville Tuesday Connection to share the weekly character strength with you along with resources to support your conversations at home. This week's character strength is Perseverance. Learn more about this week's character strength through the Positivity Project Character Card for families.
Quote of the Week: “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” - MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
