Aventura School,
in Miami Florida, wins an award:

Promising Practices Citation
by
Character Education Partnership

The school was selected as a National Schools of Character Promising Practices citation recipient for their Living Values "Knock Your Socks Off Parent Workshops" in the spring of 2005. A few quotes from parents at Aventura City of Excellence School:

"I think my child listens to me better because I learned to talk at his pace, not yell out orders or demands across the house."

"I am more consistent with how I advise him when he doesn't do what he is told."

"My child is using new terms regarding respect for others, e.g., "waste" of someone's time, or money (when food is disposed of). He has an appreciation of friendship and (demonstrates) other values that I have noticed throughout the year."
