Character Counts Award
Among all the other Character Education activities done during the school year, one class period a month is set-aside for Clark students to review the various pillars of the Character Counts Program. Teachers are asked to nominate a student who they feel best exemplifies the Character Counts Pillar that is being emphasized during that month. Nominees should be students who have exemplified that pillar not only in a particular instance but also on many different occasions. We want to honor those students who still exemplify character when no one is looking. The winners are honored at the Exemplary Student luncheons and then have their picture and name engraved on the Character Counts plaque that graces the hallway of the main office. Monthly Character Counts Pizza parties are for any student who turns in lost items of value to the team offices.
Student Recognition Luncheon
Teachers will choose students to be recognized who exhibit exemplary effort and achievement in their classrooms. Honorees have the pleasure of public recognition while their parents are present. The luncheon is free to all parents of students honored. Notification informing parents of the date and time will be brought home by the student.
