Dogwood Elementary in Camdenton teamed with PAT to hold their second Kindergarten Orientation meeting in April. It was attended by approximately 120 families plus many more siblings, grandparents, aunts, etc. PAT educators greeted the families and presented each incoming Kindergartener with a book and a bag filled with informational handouts. The families gathered in the cafeteria, and after a brief presentation by the principal, they were divided into groups for a tour of the building. The guides were the PAT educators, and they moved with their groups through out the building. Special stops were made in the art room, music room, computer lab, library, gym and at a school bus. The future students received a surprise at each station, such as pencil, stickers, or crayons. The families enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the ability to move around and see the school.

 

In March, Bellflower Elementary in Montgomery County R-II invited several community leaders to a meeting to promote the school’s character education program.  They discussed the program and how it benefits the students and the community.  They then asked the community business leaders if they would be willing to post the school’s monthly character words in their businesses. The community members were also asked to promote and encourage good character when they saw students in their businesses. Bellflower Elementary had many business leaders step forward and be willing to work cooperatively with the school. They are so pleased to see the character words throughout the community, and hope it has an impact on the students and their families.
