AT BALDWIN HILLS OUR SCHOLARS REALLY SOAR!

​HEART CARD VIRTUES

Baldwin Scholars are expected to practice Heart Card virtues everyday. Our students are empowered to govern their own behavior through our integration of HEARt CARD virtues. Instead of external discipline we are creating an environment where students are reflective and are internally monitoring their choices as they use the 7 core virtues to guide them:

"Take care of your heart, for out of it comes everything you need."

 
 Order means we have our flow!
Harmony means we are all connected!
Justice means being fair!
Truth means we speak and live the truth!
Balance means keeping your heart light!
Propriety is letting your light shine!
Righteousness is doing what is right!
 
 

"When I hear what's in my heart, I make my world good and just!"

Soaring Scholars of the Month for the 2024-25 school year!

A special shout out to our Soaring Scholar Ambassadors
​and Mrs. Porter-Morris!
 

THE PEACE PATH

At Baldwin Hills Elementary Pilot & Gifted Magnet School we focus on teaching our scholars about conflict resolution and accountability. Through the peace path we encourage them to handle minor problems amongst themselves with empathy and poise.
