CHARACTER COUNTS!

Joe Kordick Youth Character Awards
Academic year 2005-06

The annual Joe Kordick Youth Character Awards honor middle and high school students whose lives and achievements demonstrate an enduring commitment to qualities associated with good character. 

This year, 90 students were nominated by teachers for demonstrating the six pillars of character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, Citizenship. The students were asked to write an essay about how a particular quotation applies to their life or the world. A panel of judges then selects the students who they feel best demonstrate the pillars of character.

The following 17 students were winners of 2005-06 Joe Kordick Youth Character Awards. The awards ceremony was May 11, 2006, at the Blake Library in Stuart.
