Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful Is Bee-U-Ti-Ful

Help me give my students get celebratory items that say "You did it & we're proud of you". These items go to each student showing exemplary behavior while upholding our 3 principles, Be Safe, Being Responsible & Being Respectful.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Thames's classroom raised $609

My Project

This project is very simple. Each month at our Town Hall event students are recognized for displaying our 3 core values. Being Safe is the top priority. All students are taught what being safe looks like throughout our building, at home, and in our community. This value is primary to meeting the other 2 values. Being Respectful to oneself as well as others could simply mean reading to yourself during quiet reading, or holding the door for someone behind you. Our last core value is Being Responsible. Students that are displaying responsible behaviors are generally meeting the other 2 values as well. These students are acknowledged before the whole school as an example of how to move safely respectfully and responsibly throughout our building and in life. These items focused on our Bee theme will help us to highlight the gratitude we have for your little school leaders.

P.S.

The gloves are simply needed. Students request these often.
