School outlines 'Acceptance' marking‑period activities and kindness initiatives
Summary
Dr. Taylor presented the marking‑period focus 'Acceptance' (part of the CAUSE framework) and described activities including the Great Kindness Challenge, grade leaderboards, a December door‑decorating contest judged Dec. 20, and a spirit week Dec. 16–20 to support the initiative.
During the curriculum portion of the Nov. 25 meeting, Dr. Taylor presented the school’s marking‑period theme of “Acceptance” as part of the CAUSE framework (partnership, acceptance, worth, support).
Dr. Taylor outlined planned activities tied to the marking period: a Great Kindness Challenge that asks teachers and staff to note random acts of kindness and track them on leaderboards by grade, a December door‑decorating contest to be judged on Dec. 20, and a spirit week scheduled for Dec. 16–20. The elementary and middle school classes with the most recorded acts of kindness at the end of the marking period will receive an ice‑cream party as recognition.
The presenter noted the school will continue Franklin Family Fridays and select a student of the marking period who exemplifies acceptance. The curriculum presentation also referenced prior professional development and partnerships used to support school culture and behavior systems.
