Supervised by Mrs. Deborah Danello. A steering committee composed of teachers representing each school at all levels meets monthly to provide direction for the program. Education about character and citizenship is integrated in instruction across subject aras and in school activities as appropriate and relevant.
Reporters cover school events and write articles in regional newspapers.
Local cable channels run Word of the Month screens daily throughout each month. A local radio station introduces the selected word on the air. A newspaper supplement featuring citizenship education has been created and will be used in classrooms. Word of the Month posters are displayed in over 300 local businesses to inform the public and to further garner support for the CCE initiative. Our county administrator posted an attention-getting Word of the Month sign on the lawn of the Stafford County Courthouse building.
