A nonprofit organization dedicated to 
instilling positive values in the next 
generation of business leaders, the 
Uncommon Friends Foundation at the 
Burroughs Home & Gardens focuses heavily 
on character education. The foundation aims 
to teach positive values and celebrate young 
people who embody these characteristics.
The character education program at the 
foundation stresses the importance of principles 
such as cooperation, perseverance, friendship, 
integrity, and honesty. 
Through its “Lessons Learned from the 
Uncommon Friends” curricula for students 
between grades three and eight, the 
Uncommon Friends Foundation draws upon 
incidents and stories in the James Newton book 
Uncommon Friends.
Drafted by teachers with a wealth of 
experience in the education sector, the 
curricula encourage students to think 
critically about ethics and develop their own 
moral character. The curricula meet the 
Sunshine Standards of the Florida 
Department of Education, allowing educators 
across the country to align lessons with their 
own state standards.
