The Citizen of the Month Program is our opportunity to recognize students for outstanding character in the classroom. Students are selected by their classroom teacher for a variety of reasons with each month having a unique theme. Students selected as the Citizen of the Month for their classroom are recognized with a special lunch, certificate and their picture on display in the front lobby of the school.
Each month we will be honouring students who demonstrate positive character traits to fellow students, teachers, and other staff members in our school. These students are nominated by their teacher to receive a Citizen of the Month award.
