Link Crew Program Receives Promising Practices Award for Character Education

July 20, 2011…Tucson, AZ - The Vail School District in Tucson, Arizona has received a Promising Practices Award from the Character Education Partnership (CEP) in Washington, DC for effectively implementing Link Crew, a freshman transition program that promotes character, reduces bullying and improves attendance and grades.

“As we finish this school year and reflect on the violence that jolted the community of Tucson last January, our district is honored to receive recognition for our efforts to restore a sense of safety and caring in our schools, said Krysta Gypton, who heads the service learning program at the district.
