The Power of Positivity

☺️The Power of Positivity☺️

At Patriots STEM Elementary School, the Positivity Project (P2) is doing more than teaching students about weekly character traits. It’s transforming the school’s culture and fostering emotional and social growth across Cabarrus County Schools. By emphasizing kindness, empathy, and resilience, P2 helps students and staff recognize the best in themselves and others, building a foundation for lifelong success.

“The Positivity Project is a character education program that focuses on positive psychology,” says Melissa Cahall, the school’s counselor and a key leader in implementing P2 district-wide. “It introduces 24 character strengths to help students understand, value, and use these traits in their own lives and relationships.”
