PRIMARY SCHOOL GRANTS
Social Decision Making/School Culture In order to promote healthy choices and positive decision making, personal responsibility, self-worth, honesty and compassion, monthly character education themes are stressed. Teachers incorporate these themes into their curriculum, through direct instruction throughout the month and in conjunction with the Social Decision Making Program. By increasing the students’ self-esteem, promoting appreciation for diversity, improving communication skills, and preventing escalation of disciplinary problems, students are taught to react positively to each other. In 2006, MAC sponsored two assembly programs Make a Good Choice and Around the World in support of the Social Decision Making Program. Additionally, Promote Peace Bracelets were purchased for both schools to be used in rewarding students’ modeling the positive behaviors. The 2008 grant is for $ 3,900; The Administrators are identifying programs for 2008. Once final decisions are made, information will be posted here.
