sick

Character Education Program - CHARACTER
COUNTS
 CHARACTER
COUNTS! is a character education program that the Haddon Township School
District is implementing in our elementary schools. The program provides
students, parents, teachers, and administrators with goals and common
language in order to demonstrate and promote good character. The program is
fluid and is easily molded to fit the specific needs of any organization,
including our district. It is also pervasive in that it can become part of
every aspect of the district; not simply an "add-on" program that the
teachers must fit into their already busy schedules. The program also has
components geared specifically for athletic organizations, such as the
H.T.A.A., as well as entire communities. We are examining these divisions
with the intention of making good character something that is practiced and
encouraged in all aspects of our students' lives.

program, please feel free to contact Chuck Warfield at
