Helping Heroes at Triadelphia Ridge

 

This year at Triadelphia Ridge Elementary, the staff members have devised a way to emphasize different character traits each month while inspiring the students to change from bystanders, victims, or bullies to heroes.  Helping Heroes help one another, stand up for one another, and try through words and deeds to make TRES a safe environment for learning and growing for every student.   Each month a different character trait will be highlighted.  This is done through weekly announcements made by different staff members, classroom lessons by the school counselor, daily announcements made by the fifth grade announcers, and through opportunities presented in the classroom, lunchroom and playground.  The students exhibiting the identified trait will be recognized with a certificate. (certificate.pdf).  The white copy of the certificate will go home with the student on the day it is received.  The yellow copy will go into the team  Helping Heroes bucket.  At the end of the month, three names from each team will be chosen.  These names will be announced during morning announcements on the first day of the new month.  The students will receive a pin tag, a bookmark, and will have their picture taken.  The pictures will be displayed at the front of the school for all to see. 

 

The TRES staff is certain that there will be many students receiving more than one certificate in a month, AND receiving certificates every month!   

 

The monthly character traits are:

         November ­ Responsibility           March - Integrity

         December ­ Compassion                April - Courage

         January ­ Respect                         May - Fairness
