P.R.I.D.E stands for being positive, being respectful, having integrity, being dependable, and showing effort.
Specific definitions and examples are included after each character trait along with our school motto, keep love present.
Students are recognized by staff members for showing the characteristics of P.R.I.D.E and their names are placed on our Good Deed Tree and a positive note is sent to their parents. Some students are even selected by their teachers to become a P.R.I.D.E Leader. These leaders receive a coveted bracelet:

Our school is even formulating a P.R.I.D.E Council which will be comprised of 4th and 5th grade P.R.I.D.E Leaders whose job will be to advise myself, as principal, on school affairs. While only P.R.I.D.E Leaders are eligible to serve on the P.R.I.D.E Council, all 4th and 5th grade students will have the opportunity to vote for their representative. Look for more details about this in the coming days.
