Ms. Stewart's CAUGHT UP CLUB

This club is designed to recognize and reward students who:

* do their best.

* are Responsible & Ready to Learn.

* have ALL assignments in, with passing scores by the end of the week.

* return KenGarff Reading summaries each Monday morning.

They will also receive special privileges which may or may not be announced beforehand.

I will add/remove members each weekend as assignments are recorded. That means each student has a fresh start each week. I hope to see my whole class in this club VERY SOON!

(I reserve the right to tweak this club as needed.)

Safety Patrol Schedule

Please make sure you are at school by 8:10 each morning to help set up. If you are unable to work a specific day it is YOUR JOB to find a substitute!

Please remember how important you are to Oakdale. You help to make each child safe!

Note to Parents:

The Hope of America Award is a Kiwanis Club award given upon recommendation of the teachers and principal to sixth grade students who have achieved well in leadership potential, service, scholarship, and moral character while they have been in elementary school. These students show great promise of contributing to the future of the community and our nation.

At your school, students apply for this award. The student must fulfill certain requirements in order to be recipients of the award. ALL STUDENTS WHO MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS WILL RECEIVE THIS AWARD. The requirements are as follows:

1. An application form must be submitted BEFORE the specified deadline.

2. Demonstration of academic competence in elementary school.

3. Demonstration of leadership, good citizenship, self discipline, and self reliance.

4. A teacher recommendation.

5. The completion of a service project, which involves planning it, advisor’s approval of the project, performing the required service, and writing a report about the project upon completion. Minimum hours of service for this project is 12 hours, by the student applicant.

6. A 250 word essay on citizenship.

Each sixth grade student at our school is given this packet of information. Each student will decide for him/herself whether he/she would like to apply for the award. There will be no further involvement from the staff at the school; except to receive your application, your plans, and your reports, as required by the schedule. It is our feeling that students deserving of this award should be able to follow through with the completion of the requirements on their own. The teachers will determine whether or not you have met the standards.

APPLICANT GUIDANCE:

Responsibility for completion of ALL requirements rests with the applicant.

The awards will be given at the Awards Assembly at the end of the year.
