| Poway Unified School District Volume 4 Fall 2004 |
|
The Poway Unified School District, through a generous donation from community member David Bender, started implementing Character Counts! at several school sites last year and will continue to bring the program to all sites over the next two years. The over-arching goal of the Character Counts! program is to adopt the "Six Pillars of Character" (Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship) as a common framework to develop positive character in the school community.
Michael Josephson,
well-known ethicist and founder of CHARACTER COUNTS! facilitated a dialogue
on October 20, 2004, with a panel of distinguished community
members that included Charlene Zettel, Director, California Department of Consumer
Affairs; San Diego City Councilman Brian Maienschein; Assistant Sheriff William D.
Gore; President , PUSD School Board, Jeff Mangum; Miss California USA Brittany Hogan, and San Diego County Red Cross CEO Ronne Fromme. John Culea, former television reporter and news anchor was emcee
for the program. For questions about the Character Counts! program contact Deb Pint, CC! Program Coordinator, at 858-668-4068 or via e-mail a dpint@powayusd.com.
