Character Education

[Elder, Debbie J]

Linda,
 This might be a start.
"Third Annual Character's Cool Contest" 

The MindOH! Foundation's third annual Character's Cool Contest is 
accepting entries until January 31st at
http://www.mindohfoundation.org/contest. The contest is a national online contest to help middle and high school 
students reflect on what it means to have good character. The theme for 
this year's contest is tolerance, and students can fill out the online 
survey to win prizes such as a Nintendo Game Cube, a portable CD/MP3 
player, gift certificates, games or sports memorabilia. Students can also 
enter the essay contest to win cash prizes of $500 for first place, $250 
for second place and $175 for third place. The school with the most 
entries wins the grand prize of a new computer and a one-year subscription 
to MindOH!'s Discipline and Life Skills Series. The second place school 
receives Project Wisdom's character education materials. Last year's 
contest involved almost 7,000 students from 37 states and this year's 
contest is promising to attract even more attention!
