It has uniform board policies and guidelines, but nor a tool that all buildings use. Below is the system that the high school building utilizes.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hundreds of schools across the nation are joining the movement of the Positivity Project, including Grand Blanc Community Schools.

The project is all about instilling characteristics in students that aren't just found in books.

The 24 characteristics, like teamwork and bravery, are being taken from the field to the classroom and beyond to the work force.

"Other people matter is the mantra," says Nick Thomas, student liaison of Indian Hill Elementary school. "And what simpler way to put it."

That's the big message behind the Positivity Project that's sweeping the nation, including Grand Blanc schools.

"Positivity Project is a social media movement that hopes to help and empower kids to learn about the character strengths that they have within themselves and in others," says Indian Hill Elementary principal Jeremy Mitchell.

Teachers from around the district learn ways to help their students understand characteristics like leadership, bravery and many more.

"Not only and I a teacher in the district, but I have a fifth grade student at my school," says middle school teacher Wendy Wise. "So, I think it's going to be very valuable for my daughter to learn and all my kids."

The students are just as eager to put their skills to the test when it comes to positivity.

"It helps kind of mold you as a person and work with other people," says Grand Blanc senior Chase Clark. "I think it can for sure help later on in the work force later on in life."

For teachers like Wise, character is just as important for her students to learn as the lessons from their school books.

"Character takes you everywhere. You could be the smartest kid in the world but if you don't have a great character, you wont go very far," says Wise.

Teachers participating say that's their goal, to see their students go as far in life as they possibly can.
