Booksin Elementary

What is Project Cornerstone?

The Search Institute surveyed students in our county and identified developmentally appropriate sets of assets for elementary-age children. Developmental assets are a framework of 41 building blocks that are the foundation for enhancing the health and well-being of children and youth. They are the experiences and opportunities that all young people need to grow into healthy, responsible adults.

The Booksin community is working together to support development of these assets in our children. Project Cornerstone ABC parent volunteers visit classrooms to read books and do activities with the children to encourage developmental assets. Particular attention is given to teaching children how to deal with bullies and not engage in bullying behavior themselves.

On Fridays, dedicated parent volunteers organize special activities during lunch recess. Fun Fridays bring parents, staff, and children together in a relaxed atmosphere that nurtures our Booksin community. It takes a village to raise a child.

It takes a movement to change a community so that every child has a village. Project Cornerstone invites you to join our asset-building movement!
