“Among the many practices at our school, including “Cloud9World,” was one of the unique and specific practices in the implementation of our Character Education program.  Cloud9World provides a yearlong school-wide program for character building PreK-5.  C9W builds on traits of honesty, responsibility, respect, and good citizenship among many to choose from.  At Springview Elementary, C9W is not just a series of lessons and activities; it is an ongoing process; it is a climate and mentality embraced by the total school population.  It is the school’s rationale, goal and objective to have the stakeholders inspire, challenge and motivate each other, the children, parents and community as we face anxiety, happiness, disillusionment, excitement and sorrow in our daily life.”
