New Hampton, IA: Students Celebrate Character with Style

Students got spiffy for CC! Week at New Hampton Elementary, during May 3-11, 2004. They held special dress-up days, such as Tie In to Trustworthiness, Turn Your Back on Disrespect, and Count on Caring. In addition, students:

  • Enjoyed special programs and heard speakers.

  • Created daily journal entries for each Pillar and compiled them into a rainbow book.

  • Frosted sugar cookies with rainbows in the Six Pillar colors.

  • Took walking tours to view CC! banners hung along the school’s street.

  • Hosted a canned food drive, cleaned up a parking lot and carried out other citizenship projects.

The town actively joined in. The mayor issued a special proclamation for the city and the local Fareway grocery store printed the Six Pillars on its bags. And the New Hampton Tribune ran articles on the events.
