Dansby-Hall's "The Motivation-Mentor-Character Education Study Group" is designed to motivate students to be successful members of society. It will provide a positive, nurturing environment, develop positive value in students' personalities (Character Education), expose students to community leaders, and help students develop an educational plan for the future. This program will provide students with many activities, including writing an educational plan and learning the 6 Pillars of Character through essays and presentations at various community events. Students will write resumes, hold a Dress for Success Day, go through a mock interview, and perform various community service activities. Also part of this program is weekend study groups designed to improve state standardized test scores.
