The South Country Central School District has adopted the CHARACTER COUNTS! Character
education program.  The CHARACTER COUNTS! program addresses the following six character
traits: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.  As part of this initiative, we are asking your help in creating a Good Character “Rainbow Fish”.  Our “fish” will be displayed in the main hallway of the school.  Our goal is to recognize and reinforce good character. In doing so, we will watch the body of the fish become the colors of the six character pillars. 

Click here for a form for teacher, staff and parents to nominate any Verne W. Critz student who exemplifies any of the six character traits (Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility,
Fairness, Caring, Citizenship).  A completed form should be returned to the classroom teacher. When a child is nominated for all six character pillars he/she will earn the “Rainbow Fish” Award. Please remember that a student can only be nominated for one character pillar at a time.

Thank you in advance for participating in this program to recognize and reinforce good character.

Sincerely,
The CHARACTER COUNTS! COMMITTEE
Mrs. Andreopoulos, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Cardinale, Mrs. DeRosa,
Ms. Klamut, Ms. Kumm, Mrs. Munisteri, Mr. Satterley
