Building Character
It is also where we feature information on the Character Quality of the Month (below). In addition to practicing and building
oneself, there are many ways for businesses, schools, faith organizations and local government to encourage and feature each Character Quality of the Month.
RESOURCEFULNESS
Character Quality of the Month
We all know the 3 “Green” R’s of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Did you know that they now have two more siblings? Renew and Respect. Renew refers to choosing energy sources and raw materials that are renewable. Respect is a more encompassing idea relating to how an individual or community impacts their environment with every choice. Consider everything in your kitchen garbage can. Could you select an alternative choice that would reduce or even eliminate items from that can? This month the focus is on using your Resourcefulness to live "Green".
"To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk." -Thomas Jefferson "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." -Proverb Character qualities are courtesy of Character First!

We devote several pages in this branch to explain some of our philosophies about character. The Build Character section of our web site provides insight into our core belief that through encouragement and positive reinforcement, these character qualities will help to strengthen and grow the fabric of ourselves, our families and our community.
