Celebrating character and good citizenship through film, arts and
community dialogue, this annual forum will draw over 900 citizens
of all ages together to recognize recipients of our "Highest
Office: Citizen Award." This year's event will feature educator
Erin Gruwell, whose story is the inspiration for the film "Freedom
Writers," who will speak about how she helped change the lives
of her students by encouraging them to question long-held racial
stereotypes, address their deepest struggles, and ultimately rechart
their futures.
In addition, CYC will recognize Charles Mack Elementary, Prairie
Elementary, and Orinda Intermediate School as the 2007 California
Schools of Character. The annual California Schools of Character
awards program recognizes schools or districts that demonstrate
an outstanding character education initiative that yields positive
results in student behavior, school climate, and academic performance.
