Once a month, Linda Maurer presents Character Awards to students at North Dearborn Elementary. It is for grades 1-4 and once a month the teacher will submit a name from each class (about 23 total) who have been nominated by either a student or the teacher for being a good citizen or exhibiting outstanding character for that month. Linda provides a pizza party and presents the students with their certificates, which they love! Usually when asked the students say they helped another student when they were sick or hurt or let them borrow some school supplies. The principal and teachers are also very much into it since they are always looking for ways to reward good citizenship. Sandy Stephens gave me this idea last year in a coaching session and it has been very rewarding.
Congratulations Linda for making a difference in a child's life!!
