Character Counts at Placerita Junior High

Each year, teachers look for students in their classes who display the character traits promoted by the National Character Counts program. The six pillars of character are Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Caring, Fairness, and Citizenship.

During the months of August and September, our school will be focusing on the character trait of Trustworthiness. A person who is trustworthy is honest, does not cheat or steal, but instead is reliable, has the courage to do the right thing, and is loyal to his or her friends. One student from each team will be chosen at the end of September for demonstrating this character trait. Winners will receive a prize package, a certificate, and will attend a delicious brunch in their honor. Students, show your teachers that you are a person of good character, a person they can TRUST!!!
