Positivity Project

The vision of the Positivity Project at Rolling Valley ES is to create citizens and leaders who will enhance our communities and country.  The motto of The Positivity Project is #PositivityinAction.  #PositivityInAction is any time someone is building a positive relationship or tapping into a character strength to become their best self. The project also uses #OtherPeopleMindset. These are the five elements intended to help people understand ways to build positive relationships in their own lives: identifying and appreciating the good in others, knowing my words and actions affect others, supporting others when they struggle, cheering others’ successes, and being present and giving others my attention.

The Positivity Project (P2) is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering students to build strong relationships and to understand, appreciate, and exemplify character strengths in us all.  The movement is based in the tenets of Positive Psychology.

Every one to two weeks, our students learn about a new character strength. By leveraging Positivity Project resources, provided free of cost, teachers use approximately 10 minutes per day to lead a discussion about that week’s strength. Teachers are equipped with resources but encouraged to tailor daily character education to their students’ unique needs.

Teachers are given resources and training on the 24 character strengths.
