PreK through fourth grade students come together for a monthly CHAMP assembly to learn about character traits such as friendship, cooperation, compassion, respect, self-control, responsibility, inclusiveness, courage, mindfulness, and integrity. In addition, service learning is embedded in the CHAMP program and in the classroom, culminating in the fourth grade conflict manager program. Students learn the importance of giving back and helping others in ways that are integrated in the classroom curriculum. Our CHAMP curriculum has made a difference at MPA. Students strive to apply the character traits they\u2019ve learned in school to their own lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are excited to introduce Pantherpedia, a fun new feature where we define one word that\u2019s unique to MPA!
