Avery had t-shirts made to promote her platform ABC...easy as 1,2,3. She gave one to all of the rising stars who participated in her "Character Camp" at Miss Alabama and has sold some of these shirts to raise funds to further promote her platform. |

Alabama is one of 36 states that mandate or encourage Character Education. Schools are required to allot ten minutes a day to promote or teach Character Education. |

The promotion of character education in schools came as a result of a study done by Josephson Institute in 1998 where school violence was on the rise. It was determined that social skills as well as academics should be taught in school.
Character Counts, the nations largest character education program in the country was founded by Michael Josephson ( Josephson Institute). I chose to partner with this organization and make my primary focus, the SIX pillars of character. They are: Trustworthiness, Responsibility, Respect, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.

I believe that if one can develop good character traits, they will have good self-esteem and will learn to accept, believe and care about themselves. |
