Chrestomathy is committed to character development!
Each month staff and participants engage in activities to integrate a new character strength into their daily work.
September's Character trait is Useful Learning. Chrestomathy stands for “useful learning.”
By helping each other put our learning into use, each of us can
learn that we are ourselves useful in our community

--John Holt
