Hi-5 Friends — Character Education and Author Visit

Program Description

The Hi-5 friends Program originating from a National School of Character is geared towards helping young children develop social emotional skills. Hi-5 Friends builds on the 5 Core Values of pride, respect, responsibility, trust and citizenship. Children will be empowered to become better students and citizens as they learn what it is to live out the 5 Core Values in their lives and become vested in their own success. Reading of the book Hi-5 for Bulldog Pride and the associated hands on activities is an opportunity for students to be engaged in and learning about each of the Core Values. Students will take what they learn through classroom visits and assemblies and apply the same principles and beliefs to their home and in their community. School staff will be engaged in learning while realizing what they do daily truly makes a difference for the children they work for and in the community they serve. Participants will remember to have fun each and every day and how that joy infiltrates everything they do with children. The Hi-5 Friends program also enables schools to utilize existing PBIS/Character Ed Programs and use the philosophies of Hi-5 to compliment their work. Upon completion of the Hi-5 Friends visit all students will receive a school to home extension component along with a certificate of them becoming a Hi-5 Friend.
