We especially recommend parents and teachers use GAFC Note Cards to reward children who excel at being  honorable, civilized,                                  kind children  even though they may not stand out academically, sportswise or just pretty on the outside.  We all are the backbone of the USA.  

We recognize that being an honorable, civilized, law abiding citizen is an important contribution to civilized society.  These children

do not bully others; they respect life, their own included, and have learned it is important to do no harm..... especially to those who are smaller, 

weaker,  or younger . The sooner one learns to "maintain composure when displeased," the sooner they will feel in control of their own life.

GAFC Images are reminders to treat yourself and others with respect.   We recommend the Respect Awards be presented on

L.A.C. Day - April 15 - Law Abiding Citizens Day in recognition of being an honorable, civilized, law abiding citizen.  This is a well deserved

award and has much more meaning than a "participation award" just for showing up. 

GAFC Respect Awards recognize #1 ) Honesty, #2 ) Good Character and #3) Civilized Behavior in We The People of the United States of America regardless of  age, health, wealth, skin color, education level, social status, religious or political affiliations.  

Honesty is #1.  If we are not honest, nothing else matters.   Honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens do not commit crimes even if the opportunity presents itself. Honest people are that way by choice, and we respect you and thank you for that.  No one and no number of laws can create honest people. It is always a personal choice.

Good Manners create good self-esteem, confidence, a backbone, common sense and the ability to make good decisions on your own. Good Manners are flexible. Good Manners put a check on your own bad behaviors, so the Police don’t have to.  Good Manners enable you to get along with people

you do not like.

We the People are everywhere, and we are there before the Police arrive because we live in freedom, which is not free. Our US Constitution

guarantees each of us the same rights and protections to be able to defend ourselves, our property, our families, our communities, and our

country.  Every one of us is important to our country regardless of income level. Nowhere in the US Constitution does it give anyone the right

to abuse, harass, harm or bully another person.  

It is important for all of us to work together for all of us to succeed.  Civilized society cannot exist without civilized people. We all have the

same common bonds, and we all have the same civic duties to make sure the next generation gets to live in freedom, be safe, and at peace.
Good Manners = Good Decisions

The note cards arrive with beautiful translucent envelops and are immediately recognized as something special before they are even opened.

The cards are suitable for framing.  Principals, Teachers, Parents, etc. may hand write a personal note of recognition or type a certificate

and include it in the note card. The note cards are 4-1/4" x 5-1/2".  

Respect Awards are also appropriate for Adults.   We all like to be treated with respect and recognized for having such qualities.
