MCCE@SU 2016 Awards Program
"2015 - 2016 School of the Year"
September 29, 2016
Stevenson University, Owings Mills Campus
Rockland Center
The Maryland Center for Character Education at Stevenson University
(MCCE@SU) is planning the 2016 Awards Conference to honor schools through-
out MD who have instituted, developed, and are continuing comprehensive char-
acter education initiatives in their school communities. It is a goal of MCCE@SU
to promote Character Education throughout the state of Maryland. This year we
are encouraging every school throughout the state that has developed a compre-
hensive character education program to apply for this prestigious award. Our goal
is to encourage all schools that have a character education program to apply for
recognition and a MCCE@SU School of the Year award.
The recognized schools in 2016 will receive a specially designed School of the
Year Character Education banner which can be displayed proudly along with a
certificate of recognition from the Maryland Center for Character Education at Ste-
venson University. These recognized schools will be honored for their leadership
at the 2016 MCCE@SU Awards Conference on October 8th. However, it should
be noted that the Maryland Center for Character Education and Stevenson Uni-
versity strongly believes that the most important reward is the satisfaction of ob-
serving the strengthening of character in Maryland’s youth.

Stand for the Silent
Hi all,
We hope each and every one of you are doing
great. We are trying very hard to spread our
message and we appreciate all of you for the
help in doing that. We've lost several kids to
suicide due to bullying of late and our hearts and
prayers go out to the loved ones and communi-
ties of these children. We vow to work even
harder to try and make this stop. We know that if
we all stay strong and keep pushing to get our
message to the world that we can save many of
these kids, so please keep working with us to do
that! Every pair of ears that hear our message is
a pair of lips to help spread it! Stay safe all!
We love you!

National Nonprofit Seeking Nominations
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD IN CHARACTER EDUCATION
Character.org is now accepting nominations for the 2016 “Sandy Award,” as it is informally called. Each year, Character.org honors one individual for his or her long and steadfast commitment to the field of character education. The person so honored receives the prestigious “Sanford N. McDonnell Award for Lifetime Achievement in Character Education.” This award is named in honor of Sandy McDonnell, who was the driving force behind the resurgent character education movement in America. He dedicated much of his adult life to improving our nation’s schools and developing good character in others, especially young people. Among other things, Sandy instituted a company-wide ethics program as CEO of McDonnell Douglas Aircraft, founded and led CHARACTERplus in St. Louis and served as National President of the Boy Scouts of America. He was also the founding Chairman and inspirational leader of Character.org (then known as Character Education Partnership or
CEP) until his death in 2012.
The deadline for all submissions is Tuesday, May 31st, 2016. Please email your nominations to Iris Wyatt at [email protected] . You may mail them to her, c/o of Character.org, 1634 I Street, NW, Suite 550, Washington,
