<![CDATA[Character education at the elementary school level needs to be strengthened through religious understanding, habituation, exemplary behavior, and supportive school environments. This community service activity aimed to strengthen students’ understanding of commendable morals in daily interaction with peers at SDN 36 Kayu Pasak. The activity was conducted on 19 June 2026 in the school field and involved approximately 60 students from grades 1 to 5. The activity used an educational-participatory approach through an opening session, material delivery, ice breaking, discussion, question-and-answer, contextual examples, and a concluding session. Data were collected qualitatively through observation, students’ responses during interaction, question-and-answer activities, and documentation. The results showed that students generally responded positively to the activity. They were enthusiastic, participated in answering questions, and were able to provide examples of commendable behavior, particularly respecting others, helping friends, using polite language, maintaining good relationships, and avoiding teasing or bullying. Supporting factors included the support of the school principal and teachers, adequate school facilities, and students’ enthusiasm. The main limitations were limited time, limited media, and the reluctance of several students to answer publicly. The activity functioned as an educational reinforcement rather than a replacement for continuous character development at school. Continued habituation and teacher modeling are needed so that the values introduced through the activity can be maintained in students’ daily interactions.]]>
