WEEK on Monday, October 17, 2016. For the past 12 years, this community-wide event has provided a venue for area families to gather in support of the Six Pillars of Character * and the belief that character counts at all times and in all places. We are excited to announce, that this year, proceeds will be used to provide opportunities to local youth. Coalition will provide grants for elementary &
middle school students and the Exchange Club will award one college scholarship to a graduating senior. Please visit our websites to learn more about our organizations and the work we do in the Round Lake Area. www.RLABEST.net and www.RLAExchange.org
*The Six Pillars of Character is a framework for teaching good character and is composed of six ethical values (characteristics) everyone can agree upon: Trustworthiness; Respect; Responsibility; Fairness; Caring; and Citizenship. Each of the six character traits are used within our CHARACTER COUNTS! program to help instill a positive learning environment for students and a “culture of kindness” making schools a safe environment for students to learn. The Six Pillars of Character values are not political, religious, or culturally biased. In fact, every year since 1995 our program has been officially recognized and endorsed by the U.S. Senate and The President of the United States.
