Broadmoor Middle School
Russell's "Project Pride" program is designed to promote ethical and critical thinking, effective communication, and the importance of teamwork, respect, and integrity. Each month, students discuss and investigate a particular character trait through a variety of lessons and videos. Further character lessons are learned through reading, and interpreting, and discussing novels and their themes. Students also become members of the "Traveling Thespians," who write and perform short plays that demonstrate to students of other schools moral lessons and the importance of respecting one another.
