Karcher's visit to Waller and Cooper Elementary to share their children's books the Karcher students created in advisory relating to loyalty. This is part of our character curriculum and it was a GREAT morning for all of the students involved.
For the second half to the morning on February 29th the DRIVEN leadership/bullying assembly was a success in the eyes of our students. High School DRIVEN leadership students came to Karcher to talk with all of our students about bullying and the impacts of bullying. They started and ended in the gym as a full group and had small break out sessions in between. It was a successful morning K - 12!
