Putnam County R-I Schools has a strong Character Education Program that has been in existence for over 20 years now. Each month students in elementary, middle, and high school are recognized for showing good character traits, such as being respectful and having self-control. Community members are recognized monthly as well.

In the spring, the Character Education Committee awards a $250.00 college scholarship to a senior who has been chosen for exemplifying good character during their high school career. In order to provide funding for the scholarship, we are partnering with Putnam County alumni and local artist, Delhi Rowland to raise money by selling a Midgets bleached t-shirt. Order forms have gone home in the elementary and middle school and all orders are due Friday, September 3, 2021. Thank you for supporting our students and this scholarship opportunity.
