Each Tuesday morning, AJK students come together in the gym for a special Morning Meeting designed to start the day with connection, positivity, and purpose. The morning begins with Character Strong, led by Vice Principal Mrs. Dykes, giving students an opportunity to focus on the character traits and social-emotional skills that help them become successful learners and caring members of our school community.
Through engaging discussions, activities, and real-life examples, students are encouraged to think about how their choices, words, and actions impact themselves and others. Character Strong helps our students build important skills such as kindness, responsibility, respect, perseverance, and teamwork... skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
Character Strong lessons are also presented in the AJK Library, where students have additional opportunities to explore these important character-building concepts in a welcoming and interactive environment. These lessons help reinforce the values we want to see throughout our school and provide students with practical ways to put them into action each day.
Morning Meeting is more than just a way to begin the school day, it is a time for our AJK community to come together, connect with one another, and celebrate the qualities that make our school special.
At AJK, we believe that strong character is the foundation for strong learning, and every day is an opportunity to grow, learn, and shine!
