The AESM family is grateful in having the support of the CharacterPlus Way program in our building. The program has progressively transformed our school culture from year one until present. Students now report that they enjoy coming to school and we have fewer altercations among students. Staff relationships have improved and we have noticed an increase in sense of ownership and belonging of our students.
