Student-Initiated Action:
We hope to see students taking action modeling the Know-Care-Do to plan and reflect on ways to make the community a better place by solving problems in a way that promotes the common good. (Social Studies; Government 10)
When you KNOW about something and you CARE about it, then you DO something about it
