Ice Skating!

According to the National Association for School Psychologists: "Interventions that help students with emotional/behavioral disorders and social skills deficits have potential to significantly improve school-wide behavior and safety."

With this in mind, the Schoolwide Positive Behavior Program has established a simple set of rules for all students to use as a guideline.  They are as follows:  

• Be here.
• Be ready.
• Be respectful.
• Be safe.

It's that simple!  

If you think about it, these guidelines will help students be successful both in school AND in the workplace.

On the morning of March 4th, 71 students enjoyed a field-trip to Hess' Ice Skating rink.  This second trip follows an earlier venture to the Youngstown Phantom's Hockey Team earlier in the year.  

All enjoyed the opportunity as they enjoyed tons of fun laughing, skating (and falling), and remembering that it IS worth it to make positive choices.
