The “Catch a Character Cub” program will start on Wednesday, September 1st. Teachers were given a pack of orange “character cub cards” to be used at will when they have seen a student exemplify the character trait of the month. Teachers and counselors explained the program to students. September’s trait is Responsibility.
1) Each month a new character trait will be highlighted.
2) Every teacher and staff member (Teachers, Mr. Singleton, Principals, office staff, nurse etc) in the school has character cub tickets to give out.
3) There is no limit to how many character cub tickets a student can give out in one day/week.
4) When given, the student will write their name and class and the teacher/staff member will initial the month/trait.
5) The students will put the character cub ticket in the orange “character cub box,” located by the fish tank.
6) On the last school day of each month, Mr. D or Mr. C will draw one ticket from the box. The student drawn will win a gift certificate to Wal-Mart.
