If you’ve ever wanted to go outside your church walls and reach kids in public schools, we can give you a tool. Core Essentials is a secular character program used in public elementary schools that infuses the 252 Basics virtues in a public school’s culture. We want the chance to make you aware of the strategy and components within the Core Essentials curriculum. You will also learn in detail about our booth’s give-away and how it can single-handedly be the tool you use to start a relationship with schools in your community.
