The Character Education Week Initiative promotes character education among all PreK-12 schools as they work together to prepare students for the demands and challenges of the 21st century. School of Science and Technology and its partners are all part of this initiative because we believe that a child’s character development is of the utmost importance.

The Character Education Week Initiative encompasses universal core ethical values essential to a healthy society such as citizenship, respect, accountability, dedication, responsibility, caring, honesty, kindness, leadership, integrity, etc. Former U.S. Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and Texas Governor Greg Abbott invite you to join all of them in recognizing the critical importance the character education plays in the lives of students.

They run the worldwide ‘Color the World with Character Traits’ PreK-12 Poster Drive. The winners will participate in the ‘STARS in the CHARACTER SKY’ Event to learn more from noble people around the world, and to share their insights with the audience.

Here’s an opportunity to showcase your artistic, imaginative, and creative talent with a POSITIVE & ORIGINAL poster design based on the theme “Color the World with CHARACTER TRAITS.” Submit your original art that focuses on ‘LOVE’.

Theme: Color the World with Character Traits such as honesty, integrity, love, kindness, etc.
Focus: Love

Description: This year, “Love” is the focus of the poster drive to promote diversity, kindness, respect, forgiveness, peace, self-control, self-management, etc.

Therefore, please reflect on the following question before drawing your poster.

“What does love mean for healing the world?”

Be sure that your poster reflects a diverse, freeing, multifaceted, pragmatic definition of love instead of clichés.
