Rock Solid Character

Respect

Hey everybody! The blog is up and running. I thought it would be a great day to remind everyone about the handhold of Respect. Remember that we at Rock Solid Character believe there are four things to respect and one of those things is our country. We can respect our country by saying the pledge of allegiance. We can respect our country by volunteering to make our community better. When you are old enough, you can respect your country by VOTING! Today, we can get out there and vote. What a great privilege it is to be able to vote. So if you are old enough, get a grip on respect and vote! If you are not old enough, just wait, your turn will come. Have a Rock Solid day!

Get A Grip on Fundraising: Rock Solid Ideas For Bringing RSC Character Education Programs Into Your School

Rock Solid Character has been hard at work, brainstorming opportunities for schools to help pay for much needed character education programs. Check out these creative ideas:

• Rock Solid Character T-Shirt Sale Program. Get your school really excited about Rock Solid Character and offset the program cost and perhaps even make some extra money too! Students will want to wear their Rock Solid Character T-Shirt on “Character Day” each week.*

• Corporate and Community Sponsors. Employ community involvement by having local businesses sponsor RSC character education activities in your school.

• Civic Organizations. Request donations from civic organizations in your community.

• PTA Fundraisers. Parents, organize a fundraiser to sponsor RSC in your child's school.

Fundraising can be an easy and fun way to bring Rock Solid Character to your school, make a significant contribution to your school's budget, and most importantly make a lasting difference in the lives of your students.

Get A Grip on Character Curriculum: The Rock Solid Program

"I have over 600 students PK 4 ... [and] cannot go into 35 classrooms every 4 weeks ... This is an easy curriculum and flows well. Teachers like easy. Love the program."  Cecilia Brown, Counselor New Boston ISD

Just like in rock climbing, the Get a G.R.I.P. on Character Curriculum build upon one another while guiding students toward success. The program is divided into eight character qualities integrating the rock climbing experience.

The four lesson plans within each of the eight character qualities follow the acronym, G.R.I.P.

G -- "Gather information about the character trait."
R -- "Recognize this character trait in the world around you and in others."
I -- "Identify ways this character trait can be represented in your classroom and in life."
P -- "Plan and practice this character quality in the classroom and in life."

The Rock Solid Character message continues on in the Get a G.R.I.P. on Character Curriculum. It is naturally teacher friendly, includes team building games and character posters and is fully TEKS supported.

Students Climbing to New Heights with Rock Solid Character Program: Cool Comments from Kids

 

I’m absolutely terrified of heights but it was sooooooooo much fun!
-- Kayla Van Wagner

Kids taking the time to write ... you bet! The Rock Solid Character (RSC) program has this kind of positive effect on kids. But don't take our word for it, below is a sampling from kids who have experienced RSC first-hand: 


“I had never had the courage to go rock climbing, but after your group talked about courage, I was willing to try. I climbed my hardest and tried my best and made it on my first try! Thank you for coming to our school and teaching us to do our best at everything.”  

- Chloe Gibson

“Your lesson about climbing to the top with character really had me thinking about the things I should do to keep my life going forward and not down the drain. And the lesson plan was fun, and it was exactly like life.

You have your ups and downs and sometimes you don’t know what rock to put your foot on or when you were down, someone helped you up.”

  - Beverly Alspunky

The Character Lesson Students Never Forget!

 

With the Rock Solid Character (RSC) Program, your students will enjoy the opportunity to do something different. To ensure that students gain the most from their climbing experience, they are first challenged with a special presentation called, "7 Handholds for Success".

Students not only hear this lesson, but then get the immediate chance to experience the lesson for maximum retention. Our program has literally had a life-changing affect on many children! We've been in schools hundreds of times and can predict that even the shyest of children will be participating in earnest!

In particular, benefits to students include the following:

• Increases awareness of personal character
• Encourages students to make positive and responsible life choices
• Improves students’ self-esteem
• Provides a physically challenging activity
• Teaches students the basics of safe rock climbing

Welcome to Rock Solid Character

Rock Solid Character (RSC) is not your typical “assembly-type” character education program. Rather, RSC offers students of all ages the opportunity to hear and experience positive character lessons reinforced with the fun challenge of climbing a 25’ portable rock wall.

The Rock Solid Character team consists of professional educators with a staff of certified teachers, a program specialist, and a recreational therapist. All facilitators and climb masters are picked for their enthusiasm for life and people, their attention to detail and safety, and their ability to communicate real life principles through an action-learning model.

Rock Solid Character is an educational investment you can't afford to miss -- for less than the cost of an off-campus field trip we can come to you! Check out our testimonials from students and catch the enthusiasm!
