Wayne Humphries' Favorite Pillar of Character:
RESPONSIBILITY!
He believes that it is a pillar that most people want to avoid the most. It needs to be a reminder to others that we should be RESPONSIBLE for ourselves, others, and the community.
Susan Coppage's Favorite Pillar of Character:
RESPECT!
She believes that we cannot go wrong if we live our life treating others as we want to be treated: GOLDEN RULE.

Character Counts! Coach Specialist
Kelly Huber joined the Character Counts! program in November 2016 as the new Character Counts! Coach Specialist. She is in charge of recruiting coaches from the residents of Queen Anne's County, community organizations and local businesses as well as school parents and staff. She will train those individuals and prepare them to deliver the CC! message to the students in our schools. She will be the liason between the schools and the coaches and assist the coaches in their weekly lesson as part of the CC! team.
Kelly moved to Queen Anne's in 2005 and currently lives in Grasonville. She has Stevensville Middle School boys that were previously students at Grasonville Elementary where Kelly became very involved as a volunteer as well as a character coach. It is a program that she feels passionate about and loves sharing her lessons.
Favorite Pillar of Character:
CARING!
She believes that in order to truly understand and adopt all Six Pillars of Character into your daily practices and life, you must first CARE.
