Developing Character
|
Character education is an
integral part a student’s academic program and forms the foundation of the
guidance curriculum. Each month we celebrate one character quality. Teachers
incorporate lessons about these qualities and the counselor offers class lessons
about character.
Anona provides two award programs to recognize students
who demonstrate excellent character. These programs are:
C2C Awards:
Each month teachers choose a student who has best demonstrated the quality
of the month and completes a special certificate for that student. On the first
Wednesday of the month, our special guest and business partner, Erica Martin
from Authentic Marshal Arts, calls these students to the Media Center and
provides them with a special treat and their certificate. We take a group photo
and the names of these students are posted in the main office.
Golden
Apple Awards: Every time a student demonstrates any of the character
qualities, the teacher fills out a slip with the student’s name and places it in
a special box in the media center. On the fourth Friday of each month, we draw
out one student’s name from each teacher’s box and announce them on the morning
news. These students are invited to have lunch with the principal and receive a
certificate and special
treats.
