Mayor Joe Strecker gave this to me last week. I comes from the River Valley District Extension Newsletter. The newsletter says that this is the first of 6 articles. I hope to get the others and post them here too.
Have you heard of the Six Pillars of Character? If not, let's introduce those to you. This is going to be the first article in a series covering the Six Pillars of Character. Please feel free to use this information in your daily lives and in your communities as we all strive to be better citizens.
The Six Pillars of Character are: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. This month we are looking at the broad overview of these Characteristics, in the months to follow there will be specific information about each pillar as well as activities to use at home, at work, at meetings, and other places.
