HELP MAKE SURE ALL KIDS ARE TERRIFIC KIDS

Terrific Kids is a character-building program that recognizes students for modifying their behavior. This program for primary/elementary school age students encourages kids to become the best version of themselves. Kids determine what being terrific means to them, then develop their own goals and use peer mentoring to hold themselves accountable for the actions they take each week. When a participant achieves their goal, her or she is recognized for being a Terrfic Kid.


HELP KIDS BRING UP GRADES

Now you can empower kids to succeed in school. Bring Up Grades, or BUG, is a program that recognizes primary/elementary school age students who raise their grades or maintain good grades from one grading period to the next. Students are motivated to excel because they set their own goals — and they participate in peer mentoring, which involves their classmates in their success. When they reach their goals, the entire class celebrates.
