Can you Believe Character Counts! celebrates 22nd Anniversary in QAC
Character Counts! celebrated its 20th Anniversary in November 2020 and this year we celebrate our 22nd Anniversary. It's hard to believe that this initiative has been in QAC for over 20 years. There have been more than 83 "Businesses of Character"
participants and well over
1000 volunteer character
coaches and mentors
delivering lessons to the
children through the years.
Character Counts! has been
successful in building great
partnerships in the public
school system, local
businesses, county agencies,
non-profits and throughout
the community.
Felt so good to be back in the schools for the 21-22 School Year...
In November of 2021, our Character Counts! coaches were given the "Green Light" to finally return to the classrooms ...
With the rise of Covid in the new year, coaches were forced to leave their classes and go virtual again but, just for a short time. Check out the video they did during that time...
But, before long, they were back in the schools. where they love to be, doing in person lessons once again!
Character Counts! lessons Remained at the Schools throughout Covid
Back to School was a little different for the 2020-2021 school year but Character Counts! was thrilled to continue to be a part of the school day - a virtual school day. The lessons were delivered different but it is the same message... Thank you to QACTV for all of your help during this past year. Couldn't have done it without you!!
