Character building demonstration

Presenter Joe Trionfero teaches students to listen with their eyes and ears during a character building assembly at Brockport's A.D. Oliver Middle School. Following a series of scenarios, students guess what he tries to say through his body language. From left, Lyssa Fradella, Hannah Strussenberg, Emily Volpe and A.J. Laucht were selected for the activity based on their correct answers in a contest. Trionfero put on a "put yourself in their shoes" program to teach children how to be considerate of others' feelings. The program was part of the school's character building workshops.
