As COVID-19 shut down schools across the country, Grand Blanc High School teacher Todd Babiasz, wanted students to continue the Positivity Project (P2) curriculum — character strengths, positive relationships, and Other People Mindset — outside of the classroom. That’s when he came up with the Coronavirus Challenge. Students from Grand Blanc High School and West Middle School were challenged to select one of the 24 character strengths and submit a video of their #PositivityInAction. And, these students did not disappoint!
