Character Strong
Kelso's Choice Conflict Resolution
When a student is having difficulty, remind them to try one of Kelso's Choices. If you would like to download a Kelso's Choice Wheel chart, please click here. Kelso's Choices are great for school, home, and life in general.
Teachers: If you have not taught your initial lessons in Kelso's Choice you may want to teach them now. Reach out to Mrs. Jackson if you need another copy or would like her to come in and co-teach the lessons with you.
No Place for Hate
We have a coalition that meets several times in the year to plan these activities. This year, our fourth graders will be participating in the coalition during their PLC time.
Start with Hello Week

Gator Store
Students earn Gator Bucks for a variety of reasons: showing good character, performing acts of service, helping others, completing tasks, attendance, etc. Students can then redeem their gator bucks for a variety of prizes or passes for things such as sitting on the stage with a friend, or sitting in the teachers chair.
On Thursday, October 31st, we are planning a Movie Market Day. Students will be able to buy movie tickets and snacks using gator bucks.
A couple of years ago, the Gator Store was featured in a video series called Innovation in Gator Nation. To view the video, click here .
