Anderson Preparatory Academy's six CHARACTER COUNTS! athletes visited APA Elementary on Wednesday, January 11, 2023. Seniors, Landen Justice, Kanyla Wills, Serenity Evans, Miriah McClendon, and Kayden Mondragon along with Junior Julia Smith all presented on one of the CHARACTER COUNTS! pillars. These pillars include: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. The athletes also handed out playing cards of themselves to the elementary cadets.
CHARACTER COUNTS! was created in 1992 with a coalition of 17 nationally prominent youth-serving and educational organizations. Today there are hundreds of member organizations and CHARACTER COUNTS! serves millions of children and their families every year. It is the largest character development organization in the world. The program, initially focused exclusively on the development of core ethical traits – trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship (the Six Pillars of Character) – has continually evolved reflecting current research and best practices to become a comprehensive student development program embracing academic, social and emotional skills and traits as well as the Six Pillars of Character.
