President's Project
Teachers Matter
Amy's project this year is to celebrate and support teachers who are investing their time and energy to creating life long learners and active members of society.
Snacks are a good way to get through the day!
Filling Baskets with Teacher Goodies
Members donated granola bars, snacks, candy, highlighters, DKG pens and notepads. Supporting working teachers in small but meaningful ways.
Baskets of Joy
Each school district covered by our membership received a basket of cheer to start the school year.
What is your school doing to build a positive culture?
We have an antibullying initiative in our district.
Recognize people both wholly and individually. Even a note makes my day.
Doing things after school like paint and sip, pumpkin walk, doing things together, even potluck lunches.
Honeoye is focusing on SEL; morning meetings are mandatory in elementary.
I am retired but I do go to the Naples school website often. I see many great ideas including recognizing individuals via the R.I.S.E. Program. I have also seen examples of outdoor education and exposing the Elementary students to many facets of the community by walking to and experiencing historical sites, businesses,etc.
Put pumpkins with a staff members name on it in every mail box to write kind words.
Rally in the Valley, character education.
Social Committee Plans activities.
They are continuing with traditional events like Red Ribbon Week, Spirit Week, etc. There are certain times the high school kids parade through the elementary building - like around graduation. More use of social media including photos and write ups to celebrate people and events.
They have a huge MTSS process that is finally including all grade levels.
We are having monthly luncheons
We organize a First Friday event, every first Friday of the month we are in school. It is a bring, buy, bake some treat to leave in the faculty room for anyone to snack on. It has gained momentum since we started. We are on year 2.
Wellness Group - book study, outdoor activities, on-line Lift Project, opportunity to try plant based diet.
New member induction ceremony
Having a new member induction ceremony was a wonderful way to start of our new school year of sisterhood. We are happy to welcome five new sisters to Alpha Tau.
