Delegates

The purpose of the Delegate Program is to provide an opportunity for students to “shine” in the social/emotional areas. The delegate program is a leadership program to enhance social skills in first and second graders. At this level, students are expected to follow the school rules in and outside the building. When students show respect, kindness and safety to others, they act as role models to the entire school. Each month we honor students who are “leaders” by providing them with a vest to wear. They also meet with the school counselor to review the school rules and discuss how helpful and kind they have been to others.
