Sweet treats for the sweetest!
Several RES Tiger Club members are pictured
receiving ice cream treats as one of the rewards of the school’s
new incentive program.
Students at Ripley Elementary School receive incentives to
strive for excellent conduct each Friday with a new club. The
school’s Tiger Club, the newest addition to the school’s
incentive programs, rewards students for doing their best and
exhibiting good behavior.
Students with no discipline referrals are rewarded each Friday
with treats, snacks and rewards from Principal Phyllis Elkins
and the RES faculty and staff.
“Fight Free” flag flying high
RES Assistant Principal Texas Culver raises the school’s “Fight
Free” flag.
RES students are proud of their fight-free school.
Officials at Ripley Elementary School are proud to announce that
their “Fight Free” flag is still flying high with no school
incidents since the beginning of the school year.
The Fight Free initiative is a reward program, adopted by the
school, that promotes and rewards good behavior and teaches the
students the importance of getting along. With the help of the
program, students are learning to work out their differences in
a peaceful way and are proud to let the rest of the community
know about their success with a flag that flies high above their
school.
Students who are involved in a fight at the school have to
report to an RES administrator and take down the flag
themselves.
RES PTO sets another “goal”
The Ripley Elementary School P.T.O. recently
purchased four new basketball goals and equipment for the school
with the money earned from its annual fund-raising activities.
Members of the P.T.O. announced that they hope to do much more
for the school with the help of the community in the coming
year.
RES teachers and faculty are honored and
remembered with St. Jude donation
Tracy Douglas of Ripley is pictured accepting a check for $1,000
to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in honor of her
mother, Andrea Chaisson, and fellow Ripley Elementary School
teacher Jean DuMoulin, who both recently lost their battles with
cancer. The donation was also made in honor the RES staff, whose
generosity, kindness and understanding will always be remembered
by the Chaisson family. The donation was given by Douglas’s
father, Larry Chaisson (pictured with her) and brother, Steve
Chaisson of Nashville (not pictured). Douglas runs each year in
the 465-mile “St. Jude Memphis to Peoria Run” and works at St.
Jude, as well.
