Fourth grade "Super Stewards" at Conway repopulate trout in their local watershed as part of their Better World Project, so "the life cycle will keep on going."

EL Education does not provide a discrete character education program because we believe that character is not separate from scholarship: character education happens all day long. Explicit focus on character, reflection on character, and critique of character is present in every part of school, whether students are in hallways or in classes. School leaders and staff model positive character in all settings, in front of students and apart from students. Schools embrace the Structure of Crew and the Spirit of Crew: everyone thinking and working to help others in a team approach all day long.
