Dana Counselors Promote Character Development

Dana students have the opportunity to participate in a program that helps build the skills necessary in living a positive, successful life.

Counselors and teachers are working with 5th and 6th grade students on character development through the WhyTry Program. The goal of the program is to help students approach life with an opptimistic attitude and learn how to persevere when facing challenges in life.
 
The program consists of ten visual analogies with questions and solutions to help youth gain insight into how to deal with daily challenges. Counselors are in classrooms leading students through WhyTry activities.  Students learn that in order to achieve their personal best, students must recognize the power of every choice they make.
