Your Character Counts
Grades K - 6

          Paul is an associate of The Character Counts Coalition.

This song-filled program is a dynamic introduction to the universal concepts of good character. It is a valuable reminder to children - that the choices we make today turn us into the people we will be tomorrow. This performance promotes values that all American communities can agree upon, and makes a great ice-breaker for an extended program on values that can be conducted in the classroom. Helpful teacher materials are provided.

There are songs with sing-along choruses about creating your own moral code, listening to your conscience, making good choices and The Golden Rule.

Here's a snippet of: Choices, Choices, Choices. and here are two verses of The Golden Rule.

When Paul created this program, he took it to the people at THE CHARACTER COUNTS COALITION!* to make sure he was saying the right things. They liked his show so much that they encouraged him to work with them. He changed the name of his show from “It’s Your Choice” to “Your Character Counts.” His heart is in this one! He even donates 10% of his earnings from this show to The Character Counts Coalition. We simply have to instill some values in our children!

“Excellent program with appeal to all ages.” M.E. Foster, Principal

“Great! A positive message presented in an entertaining way. The children are given a way to remember the values through song.” Wendy Smith, Cultural Arts Chairman

“Loved the positive message! Very entertaining.” Suzie Baggett, PTA Board

“I think it should be part of the State curriculum!” Sarah Jane Miller, 5th grade teacher

From the Peninsular Heritage School “PENINSULAR VIEWS:”
Tuesday the children from the elementary campus walked to the Early Childhood Center to meet and be informed and charmed by the talents and wise words of Paul Tracey. Mr. Tracey has written eloquently and most appropriately songs that build an awareness of values and how we act.

From Orange County: Paul Tracey was probably one of the most meaningful & entertaining presenter. It was EXCELLENT! My kids were wowed!!!

I'm so glad we attended an assembly that focused on respect, morals, patience & proper behavior. We should have more assemblies like this! Thanks!

I liked the emphasis on making choices and on the Golden Rule. We were able to apply the concepts immediately in class.
