Life Skills Award Winners
The Lifeskills program has been a part of Rockport Elementary for
many years we encourage children to use their Lifeskills every day,
whether its by being kind to a new student (kindness) or working with
other students to pick up trash (caring and citizenship) or helping a
teacher keep the classroom clean (respect and leadership). There are a
total of Lifeskills (in addition to those noted above trustworthiness,
responsibility, Above and Beyond, Fairness). Each month teachers
nominate one student from their classroom that best represents the
Lifeskill we featured during that month. Students are recognized for
their efforts with Rebel Proud Lifeskill Awards. The goals of this
program are to improve social relationships, foster mutual
cooperation in solving problems, develop a stronger sense of school
and community, foster cross-cultural sensitivity and
respect for life, develop a sense of self and
empowerment to make healthy life choices, and
overall, to prepare children to live healthier, happier
lives.
