BCPS Celebrates Kids and Staff of Character!
Annual Awards Ceremony is Wednesday, May 15, at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts
Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) proudly presents the 24th Annual Kids and Staff of Character 
Awards on Wednesday, May 15, at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Amaturo Theater. The ceremony begins at 7 p.m. Media are invited to cover this event.
The awards ceremony honors 50 students and 20 BCPS staff members for being outstanding examples of the eight District-adopted core character traits: cooperation, responsibility, citizenship, kindness, respect, honesty, self-control and tolerance. The annual event is organized by the BCPS Mental Health Services Department.
The District’s core character traits help promote positive behaviors and support a safe and respectful learning environment for students. The eight traits are infused into the school environment through class curriculum and school-related activities.
Schools across the District nominated students and staff who embody and exemplify the core traits throughout the year.
