Promoting Good Character
South Country School District partners with Bellport Village

  The South Country School District has partnered with the village of Bellport to promote CHARACTER COUNTS!, a program designed to help Bellport community students by providing a framework for principled decision making.

 Together, the District and the Village are working diligently to encourage good character in the community's youth.  CHARACTER COUNTS! items such as wristbands bookmarks, and pencils donated by the Village were distributed to the district students at the South Country Library.  The library has also created a bibliography of books which demonstrate the character traits of the Six Pillars advocated by the CHARACTER COUNTS!: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. 
 
  Future community partnership efforts will include the Bellport Chamber of Commerce as part of a plan being developed to include business participation in the program.
