š”ļø Discovering What Matters Most: Our Values Shield Activity
During our Do The Math 247 Values Shield activity, elementary students at Madison Elementary School identified the values that are most important to themāsuch as kindness, honesty, respect, courage, responsibility, and family.
Through this hands-on activity, students explored what matters most to them, strengthened their self-awareness, and learned how their values can guide their decisions and the way they treat others.
Every shield was differentājust like every studentābut each one told a meaningful story.

DO THE MATH 247 "B.U.L.L.Y." ā A New Approach to Building a Kinder World ā¤ļø
Bullying can affect many schools and communities, leaving a lasting impact on those who experience it, witness it, and engage in it. At Do The Math 247, we believe in redefining the word "BULLY" in a way that fosters empathy, kindness, and self-worth.
Our B.U.L.L.Y. framework encourages students to:
ā¢ Be Understanding of Others' Thoughts and Feelings
ā¢ Lift Up Others
ā¢ Love Yourself
By teaching these principles, we empower young people to create a more inclusive and compassionate environment.
