Character Counts!
All children and youth need caring, supportive adults in their lives in order to become responsible, productive citizens in their community. The Queen Anne's County Character Counts! initiative places community volunteers in classrooms to deliver lessons on the pillars of character to have the largest possible impact on the youth of Queen Anne's County.
The pillar of the month for SEPTEMBER is... RESPONSIBILITY!
Show RESPONSIBILITY by...​
-
Do what you are supposed to do. Try your best.
-
Persevere. Keep on trying.
-
Be self-disciplined.
-
Think before you act. Consider the consequences.
-
Be accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes.
RESPONSIBILITY discussion starters...​
-
How do you develop a sense of global responsibility?
-
What is your responsibility in regard to community needs?
Character Counts!
