We also have a strong character education program to ensure students develop exceptional leadership skills. The character education program includes service learning projects and a focus of five core virtues - respect, responsibility, perseverance, gratitude and humanity.

"It just wasn't able to make enough money to run, even break even," said Annette Bauer, Salvation Army spokeswoman.

The hope was that higher-end items would be donated at the boutique, helping sustain both entities, Bauer said. "It just wasn't working for us," she said. Bauer did laud the Carlsons for their work at Dreamcoat and the "hard work, ingenuity and creativity" of those involved with the joint enterprise.
