Isabella County MSU Extension - CHARACTER COUNTS!

To all who are interested in Character Development for kids, please read the following:

The Isabella County CHARACTER COUNTS! Coalition has decided to revive the monthly character messages. If you recall, we sent out a monthly inspirational message that corresponded to that month’s Pillar.

May’s pillar is Trustworthiness. A person who is trustworthy is someone who tells the truth all the time and not just when it is convenient.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton said, “Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

Telling the truth gives us a firm foundation in all that we do. Those who tell the truth all the time can be trusted in all situations. That is what we call integrity, and don’t we all prefer to associate with people who have integrity?

The Isabella County CHARACTER COUNTS! Coalition hopes you will incorporate The Six Pillars of Character_SM into your school’s daily routine. An assortment of quotes and thoughts related to the pillars that are celebrated and explored each month are being provided to make it that much easier for you to incorporate these into your regular routine. We hope you can use these in your daily PA announcements and newsletters, and that they will be meaningful to your staff and students. Please feel free to share them with other administrators and teachers. Files are in pdf format.
