TESTIMONIALS
|
Russell Schneider of Fox Creek High School, South Carolina April 21, 2010 I just wanted to fill you in on what has been going on with our Character Ed. Classes. We have now done it school wide instead of just athletes. This year our kids wanted to start doing community projects on their own. That’s what was amazing. First our girls raised over $3000.00 for Breast Cancer Awareness week. Second the boys didn’t want to be outdone and raised over $1000.00 selling relief for Haiti t-shirts. They are now working together on Relay For Life together. My point is that we went from our student body not wanting to do the Character Ed. to now wanting to do things for others. We are so proud of our student’s willingness to give. We are excited about what has going on!
