My Project

Student learning and mental health declined as a result of Covid-19. It felt like we were just starting to make gains when the Lahaina fires happened. As a result of COVID and the fire, our students are struggling academically and emotionally. Over the past few months, we have found that students are responding (working harder/producing quality work) when offered a positive reward. We have also been focusing on our students' mental health needs and realized they need positive activities/events to spend time with friends outside of the classroom. So we created an activity that addresses both. Celebrating Excellence acknowledges the educational achievements and outstanding contributions of students and reinforces them with a positive mental health activity. We are planning a day in April where those who have made academic gains and demonstrated outstanding citizenship will be recognized with an afternoon of fun. We have restaurants in the community donating food (this is the need for plates and utensils) and shaved ice machine (the reason for small cups). We have a company donating a jumping castle and DJ. The afternoon will be spent on the PE field celebrating their excellence - music, food, and fun games. The envelopes are decorated and passed out to individual students with their certificates of celebration. Although most of the items are donated these remaining items are essential to the success of this event. With all the devastation Lahaina has suffered this will be a wonderful celebration for our students.

Help me give my students an amazing reward activity!

At LIS we celebrate excellence by creating a positive environment by recognizing student achievements to promote mental health and sense of community.
