My Students

Students see examples of negative behavior all around them. Media, video games, and personal experiences don't always offer the best examples of how to make positive behavior choices. Research shows that is where most of our young students are spending their time. You can help change this.

Our students are in an area that is increasingly being impacted by the economy.

Most are very hardworking families, working multiple jobs so that they can stand on their own. Each year we have more and more students who have families struggling to make it, and often have to move in with relatives after job loss. We have students that have military parents, some who have recently lost parents in service. This past veteran's day, some of the many students put together a play they designed to honor veterans. The students at our school really want to make good choices and we have a staff that is working to help guide students. Many of the staff spend hundreds of their own dollars yearly to provide materials for students and motivational rewards. They continually go above and beyond to help their students. I really love and respect my staff and students. I want to be able to help them succeed. I would really appreciate your help.

My Project

Our school staff work hard to help students learn appropriate, positive behavior. Students are taught classroom expectations, as well as the expectations in other areas of the school. We work hard to make expectations clear and consistent. Once students learn the expectations and they demonstrate our STAR behavior, we like to recognize those students. In our school STAR behavior stands for Showing Respect, Being Trustworthy, Being an Active Learner, and Being Responsible. Students are reminded each morning during announcements. The STAR pledge is repeated and the principal gives a motivational message about STAR behavior. We also have weekly videos which help teach students how to apply this behavior in all areas of life. Please, help my students get pencils, ribbed pencil cushions, and positive bracelets.

We want to reward our students who show great behavior.

Learning how to follow expectations and how to treat others with respect are very important lifelong skills. Students really appreciate small rewards such as these. I really appreciate any and all donations. Thank you for taking the time to read about our project.
