Topeka West High School hosted the unveiling ceremony for
the Topeka City of Character 2017 calendar. Sponsored by the Topeka
Capital-Journal, the calendar features the photographic work of TWHS juniors
and seniors in David Meske’s JAG, or Jobs for America’s Graduates, class.
The students in the class worked together on the content of
the calendar, which includes photos, quotes and words associated with character
traits, like hospitality, respect and wisdom. The kids were proud to show off their
handiwork to the audience, which included representatives from the Topeka
Chamber of Commerce and students from nearby McClure Elementary. McClure boasts
a character education program and the young students were eager to see traits
they have learned about being featured in the calendar.
The finished product is an absolutely beautiful 12 month
calendar that contains stunning images of familiar Topeka landmarks, such as
the Brown v. Board building, Washburn University and Grace Cathedral. Calendars

Great work, Chargers!
