Proclamation
Whereas: "It takes a whole village to educate a child." (African proverb)
The whole community has the responsibility to work in concert with the home to
provide consistent messages about how we are to treat each other.
' Whereas: The entire community participated in a process to identify a common ground
of basic goodness. The District 112 communities process involved three
community forums and a committee that reviewed and summarized the input from
' the community. The values were then adopted by the city councils, school board
and county commissioners.
' Whereas: The entire community must be involved. This includes school, business, clergy,
law enforcement, social services, city government and service organizations. This
' involvement begins with identifying the values and continues by community
members modeling and promoting the values.
Whereas: The City of Chanhassen has adopted and promotes the eight Community Values
of CITIZENSHIP, ENVIRONMENTALISM, GENEROSITY, HUMAN
WORTH & DIGNITY, INTEGRITY, LEARNING, RESPECT FOR
' OTHERS, and RESPONSIBILITY.
Whereas: The Values Committee has organized the Fourth Annual Community Values
' Award Program.
