Spirit Stick (Spirit Assembly)
Each class has the opportunity to receive SPIRIT points in different categories throughout the course of each month . The class at each grade level that accumulated the most points receives a SPIRIT STICK and special recognition from the student council. The categories that earned the points included the following:
1. Lining up quietly for lunch each day
2. Keeping assigned areas of the campus clean
3. Participating in School and PTA Events - bowling night, Fundraisers etc...
4. Working properly in other classrooms
5. Participating in Student Council Events - Dress-up days, Fundraisers, Spirit assemblies etc...
6. Points are deducted for classes that have students in detention or suspended
Student Council Fundraisers:
Our student council fundraisers were a great success this year thanks to the participation of the teachers and students and parents.
1. Penny Parade- A contest during the week of February 12th, in honor of Lincoln's birthday, where the students bring in pennies and other loose change from home. The class who collects the most pennies will earn a grades a pizza party for bringing in the most money in change. Student Council members collect the coins from their assigned classrooms each morning and count the money during lunch on a daily basis. It reinforces responsibility, cooperation and hard work to reach a toward a common goal.
2. Sell calendars and Bean Bag Babies.
3. Popcorn Sale- 6 oz. bags of popcorn on sale every Tuesday and Thursday after school. Popcorn sells for $0.50 a bag. What a great way to raise money consistently throughout the course of the year.
4. Pride Mail- Students pay .10 cents for stamps to send letters to staff members & peers.
