Brave Traits

At Ballico Cressey we want students to understand the importance of trying their best and never giving up. Failure is just a stepping stone to success. Some of the most brilliant and important people in our history failed many times before succeeding in their given field. We recognize students monthly for demonstrating "GRIT" and the characteristics that go along with it. Be sure to check the school calendar for dates and times of our monthly brave trait assemblies.
