Sun Sentinel Broward Edition

Character education initiative helps provide a strong foundation

- By Robert W. Runcie Superinten­dent, Broward County Public Schools

Broward County Public Schools is once again proud to partner with the Sun Sentinel in its 15th year of celebratin­g students who demonstrat­e exemplary character traits. The Kids of Character program has become a guide for helping the young people we serve develop core values.

BCPS is a proud leader in character education, which is an important part of preparing our students for productive and meaningful lives. We strive to build a common set of values among our students and support character education and its role as part of our mission of educating today’s students to succeed in tomorrow’s world.

This is a wonderful opportunit­y to honor students who exemplify the charac- ter traits and endeavor to promote and model the principles of respect, citizenshi­p, cooperatio­n, responsibi­lity, kindness, honesty, self-control and tolerance.

Congratula­tions to all our outstandin­g students on this special recognitio­n. Our hope is that they will continue to develop positive character traits to become role models and leaders in our schools and communitie­s.
