Project Cornerstone Asset Building Champions (ABC) Program

What is the Project Cornerstone ABC program?

The ABC Program is a literature based program addressing important issues including respect, tolerance, honesty, peaceful conflict resolution, taking a stand against bullying behaviors, and refusing to participate in gossip. Volunteers read specially selected books and lead discussions and activities that help teach valuable lessons related to these issues. 

  • Create a common language and vocabulary about student respect and behavior expectations among all members of the school community — students, parents and caregivers, teachers and staff

  • Help students develop skills to handle physical, verbal, relational and digital bullying and to STAND UP if they see someone else being bullied

  • Increase the number of caring adults on campus so that all students feel that there is at least one adult they can turn to if they have a problem

  • Contribute to a positive school climate where every student feels valued and supported to achieve and thrive
