Students and staff at Wheeler Avenue proudly wore their blue and yellow school spirit wear as they celebrated School Spirit Day. Each student was also given Wheeler Avenue shoelaces to wear from the PTA.
Assemblies were held throughout the day where students viewed a DVD created by the school staff explaining and reviewing the rules of school. They were also introduced to a new bucket-filler program. As part of this program, Wheeler staff members will be catching students doing the right behaviors throughout each month. Students will be rewarded with bucket notes on which they will write their names. The classroom teacher will then collect these bucket notes. The class with the most bucket notes at the end of the month will be awarded the Golden Bucket Award. That class will then have its picture taken holding the Golden Bucket, and the picture will be posted on the big bulletin board in the main hallway.
There will be one winning class from each lunch period. The winning class will also receive extra recess time. Each month the focus will be on a different behavior. The behavior for October is “Responsible” and teachers will be looking for students who are acting responsibly. The students were so excited to hear about this new program that supports the district’s character education curriculum and the Wheeler Avenue Positive Behavior Program.
