 This program is a supplemental reading program consisting of re-reading unfamiliar text until a satisfactory level of fluency is reached. Remedial reading is a strategy that implements assisted reading, reading while listening, and paired reading. 

Terrific Kids is a character-building program that recognizes students for modifying their behavior. The program encourages kids to become the best version of themselves. Kids determine what being terrific means to them, then develop their own goals and use peer mentoring to hold themselves accountable for the actions they take each week. When a participant achieves their goal, her or she is recognized for being a Terrific Kid. Our Kiwanis Club provides incentives for K-Kids.

 Key Club is a student-led, high school organization. Members make the world a better place through service. In doing so, we grow as individuals and as leaders by answering the call to lead, summoning the courage to engage and developing the heart to serve.
