Helping Hands

In the elementary programs, students earn acknowledgements for demonstrating responsible and harmonious behavior within the school community.  These acknowledgements are then added up and students can select a priviledge that allows them to further demonstrate responsiblity throughout the school.  Some examples are visiting a younger classroom to be a helper or read a story to a younger group.  JRII students often come to JRI to be an assistant teacher and assist students with their lessons and classwork.  Some other examples include making and delivering a card to a former teacher, or helping to run an errand to the office with a teacher.  This system helps students develop pride in their efforts as well as build and maintain bridges between the programs throughout the school.
