Prevention Education and Awareness Month - Volume 1
Week of Respect - October 6-10
ALL WEEK LONG:
This year we are focusing RESPECT-IN-ACTION . Specifically we are gearing our actions to demonstrate the 4 core values that correspond to our School of Character initiative:
* RESPECT * RESPONSIBILITY * GRATITUDE * COLLABORATION *
(You will hear more about the School of Character initiative and 4 core values in an email from Mr. Pappler.)
Let's not just talk the talk but walk the walk! Therefore, we will honor the Week of Respect by encouraging you to do some of the following ideas this week:
MONDAY - 10/6 - KINDNESS SHOUT OUT!!
"RESPECT KUDOS!"
We will kick off the Week of Respect with staff members handing out 50/50 tickets to students who show our core values of * RESPECT * RESPONSIBILITY * GRATITUDE * COLLABORATION *. Teachers will be recognizes these actions all week long by giving a ticket to a student they observe embodying one of the four core values. If you receive one, CONGRATS and KEEP IT UP! Also, hold on to your ticket! There will be a drawing of the winners on the Friday announcements for a prize!
