Did you know? Thayne Elementary has a Celebration and Award System


Most Fridays that we are in school, we have an all school celebration and sing. We call it the Husky Rally. The assembly starts at 2:00 and ends at 2:25. You are welcome to attend.

 

Here are the different school wide awards we give out. 

 

1.    Husky Helpers – Is awarded at the Husky Rally.

o Top 10% for citizenship.

o Elite award for consistent citizenship throughout the school (class, hall, specials, etc.)

o Parents are notified ahead of time to attend the assembly.

· 2. VIP- (Very Important Person) on Fridays

o Students get to sit at the “head tables.”

o For students who had a good week.

· 3. HuskyGrams (like a sunshine gram)

o For all students or staff.

o Any reason- just to say hi or “I like you.”

o The hope is that everyone gets at least one a year.

· 4. Caught in the Act of Reading

o Students receive a ticket to enter into a drawing when they are “caught reading” without being asked to read.

o Unlimited nominations. Parents can give the tickets too. We give parents tickets at Open House, Parent Teacher Conferences, Literacy Nights, etc. Ask your teacher to send more home if you need them.

o Tickets are drawn at each Husky Rally. Tickets are then discarded and new ones are collected for the next rally.
