The Bucks Way

Belonging – We Belong to a community.  A strong sense of belonging makes young people more receptive to guidance from other community members.

Unique - We are Unique. We allow everyone to get what they need to succeed.  Each of us is equally and differently equipped to succeed.

Courage – We are Courageous. We are brave when trying something new, standing up for what is right, and when facing consequences -both positive and negative.

Kindness - We are Kind.  Kindness means respect, integrity, positivity,  generosity, citizenship, courtesy, compassion, and teamwork.  We work to find things in common with other people, even when they seem very different.  We believe that everyone deserves empathy, respect, and care.

Self-Control - We have Self-control; we are in control of ourselves. We choose to do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do.
