Bucket Fillers of the Month - November!

All of these students got to each lunch with Mrs. Altham-Hickey and Mrs. Whitmore by being nominated for showing RESPECT during the month of November.  As a reward, each student made their own sundae and their parents received a postcard in the mail which recognzied what they were nominated for through a bucket biller slip!  Nice job everyone! 

RESPECT Post Card Winners!

As part of our school wide RESPECT campaign, each student at Freeman-Kennedy School was asked to illustrate a picture for a postcard pertaining to the school code of conduct, "RESPECT."  The purpose of the postcard is to inform parents when their child has been selected to eat lunch with Mrs. Altham-Hickey and Ms. Whitmore.  All the Bucket Fillers of the Week winners' names are placed in a grade level bucket.  Six are chosen from each grade at random for the luncheon.

Nate G. in Mrs. Moore's class won the postcard illustration contest for third grade.  The postcard illustrates a boy asking another boy if he can play soccer.  

                

Molly P. in Mrs. Longobardi's class won the postcard illustration contest for fourth grade.    Molly designed the word RESPECT with all the letters turned into people holding hands.  

Grace C. in Mrs. Tucceri's class won the postcard illustration contest for fifth grade.  Grace designed a postcard  which shows "Treating others as you would like to be treated."

Emily H. in Mr. Brogan's class won the postcard illustration contest for sixth grade. Emily designed a world full of RESPECT with students holding hands around the world.
