CHARACTER COUNTS! Assemblies

“We have hosted speakers for many years and we believe Chris’ presentation to be the best ever!  Many students came to him and told him their lives were changed by his testimony! How very grateful we are that our area students received such encouragement and affirmation in the midst of many of their difficulties.”

“This has been one of the highlights of the year for me so far this year.  We had such a great turn out and our kids have talked about it a lot, so that is awesome.”

We’re proud to partner with Chris Norton, author of the inspirational best-selling book, The Seven Longest Yards, and star of the documentary 7 Yards: The Chris Norton Story. Chris’ incredible journey from paralysis to walking down the aisle at his wedding illustrates important lessons about resilience, responsibility, caring, and many other important character skills.

CHARACTER COUNTS! Assembly / Motivational Speaking

To accompany the movie, 7 Yards: The Chris Norton Story, CHARACTER COUNTS! provides curricular resources and assembly options to extend learning beyond the film. Chris is available to deliver his inspirational message to your school or organization. The presentation is recommended for middle school and high school-aged students.

The assembly and curricular resources provide activities to help students advance their character and SEL skills. The assembly and activities connect the Six Pillars of Character (trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship) to sections of the 7 Yards movie. Additionally, the assemblies focus on critical skills for goal achievement, growth mindset, communications strategies, dealing with stress, overcoming adversity, leadership, and more.
