CHARACTER COUNTS!® gives kids — and their teachers — a framework for ethical living. Simply put, we help people make better choices, and that creates a better climate for your school or organization. The universal values we teach are called the Six Pillars of Character ®. They transcend politics, religion, and cultural differences. Our products support this focus. In this catalog, you’ll find everything you need to support your character development program, from stickers and posters to integrated curriculum. And since we’re a non-profit, every penny we receive from the sale of these products goes right back into our programs.

9FT. Budget woes? We can help. With CHARACTER COUNTS! Sponsorship Budgets for professional development are not what they used to be. We have an idea that just might put your CHARACTER COUNTS! initiative back on track. If you can locate an interested sponsor in your community (think car dealership, local bank, grocery chain, or retailer), we can work with them to save you time and energy and put together a package that suits your needs. Depending on the budget, your sponsor could help you: • Fund professional development that will show your teachers how to infuse the Six Pillars of Character into your daily curriculum • Pay for support materials to make learning fun — and teaching easier • Endow a master trainer to visit your school for in-services or support visits If you’d like us to work with your sponsor, give us a call at 800-711-2670. Sponsors can also purchase this vinyl banner to demonstrate their support in the community. We will include their name and your school’s name. 9' x 2' with grommets Item #40-1020 $199.99

Tus Valores Cuentan

In Puerto Rico, government agencies, police departments, sports organizations, and hundreds of schools have adopted CHARACTER COUNTS! (called Tus Valores Cuentan). As the popularity of the program continues to grow, Puerto Ricans are teaching and discussing the seis pilares del carácter — in classrooms, living rooms, meeting rooms, and locker rooms across the island. Because of this, we now have many products available in Spanish. If you are interested in bringing professional development or products to your school in Spanish, call 800-711-2670.
