Stay Positive
Hamiota Elementary School recognizes that "Other People Matter". Positive Psychology has identified a number of character traits that help create citizens and leaders who will enhance our communities and country by internalizing the belief that “Other People Matter.” Each month we will focus on a different character trait to help us build strong citizens.
