Character Education
James Mowat prides itself on its' character education program. Each month the school holds an assembly to celebrate student accomplishments and introduce a "Word of the Month". Activities to support the word of the month are then continued in the classrooms. The following is a list of the words we have chosen for the 2011-12 school year.
