As a result of Fairmont's committment to use "Character Counts" as a common framework to develop positive character throughout the school, Citron is designing a version that will be meaningful and exciting to their young students.  The program encourages children and their parents/teachers, etc to make decisions based on the Six Pillars of Character. The Pillars are as follows: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibililty, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship. 

Mrs. Sunny Altman (one of Citron's fine Kindergarten teachers) is designing and heading the program. She has been through extensive training and is modifying what she has learned to fit the ages of our students. Each pillar will be assigned a colored bead (for the preschoolers the bead will be larger).  As the students earn their beads, for demonstrating the actions associated with the pillars, they will be put into a drawstring bag and kept till the end of the month.  At the conclusion of the month they will be given class time to string their beads and explain the meaning of their necklace.
