Terrific Kids - Ridge Spring Monetta Elementary/Middle School
By: Larry Robinson
On Friday November 30th, 2012, the Aiken Kiwanis Club participated in the Ridge Spring Monetta Terrific Kids Celebration at Ridge Spring Monetta Elementary/Middle School. The Terrific Kids “Celebration” is a monthly event that is held jointly by the Elementary school and the Middle school on the last Friday of each month.
Each month, the two schools works on one of the character traits represented by the acronym “Terrific” - Thoughtful, Enthusiastic, Respectful, Responsible, Inclusive, Friendly, Inquisitive and Capable. The students in each classroom vote to select the classmate that they feel best represent the trait. In addition, the teachers of the Elementary and the Middle school vote to select a teacher that personifies the monthly trait. The “Terrific Kids” and “Terrific Teachers”, selected by their peers, are invited to the celebration where they receive their awards and are served breakfast.
In addition to our Terrific Kids coordinator, Sarah Moore, Elementary school guidance counselor, we met with the following:
