April Character Trait: Cooperation
March Character Trait: Cooperation

Opstad Elementary School selects a new character trait to focus on each month. For March, the chosen trait is Cooperation - Cooperation is the act of working together towards a common goal. It involves teamwork, mutual support, and the willingness to help others. It's about being collaborative, respectful, and understanding in all your interactions.

Now, let’s recognize the Outstanding Otters who exemplify this trait. Our Opstad staff has nominated them for going above and beyond, demonstrating what Cooperation truly means.
