Jim Lord, founder of The Character Network, will speak about how Kiwanis clubs can make a difference in the lives of children by discouraging bullying behavior and encouraging “hero” behavior. 

The Character Network offers age appropriate programs for 1st through 6th graders with The Beginning of a Hero™ program, which is played weekly on the school intercom. It encourages positive personal vision to emulate the childhoods of the famous heroes portrayed in the stories. Then, on a second day each week, Bully Alert!™ identifies, through specific examples, the negative behavior of bullying, and offers the positive alternative of helping instead of hurting. 

Please join the Kingwood Club next Friday to learn more about this service opportunity available in your community.

Linda Copeland, Executive Administrator and Head of School, Christian School of Kingwood is our program. She will discus the School's purpose and the program it provides.

Gail Wright is going to be presenting information about the trip she is taking to Africa to help supply water to schools there.
