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!

Do what you are supposed to do. Try your best.
-
Persevere. Keep on trying.
-
Be self-disciplined.
