Montpelier Elementary School held its monthly Little Loco Leaders assembly for the month of September on September 30, 2021. The word of the month was “Respectful,” and specific students were recognized by their teachers for being kind to others, staying on task, and following expectations.
Students were taught by our school counselor, Ms. Anderson about what is means to be respectful.
They were taught that listening when someone is talking is being respectful. Also, it is respectful to look at the person that is talking. Students were also given the opportunity to drop their name in a bucket for being a “Loco Leader” to have a chance to be drawn out randomly at the assembly as well.
The students were given prizes donated by Bill’s Locker Room III, Ring’s Pharmacy, Montpelier Academic Boosters, Elmo’s Pizza, Lassus Handy Dandy, McDonald’s, and Cookies on Demand.
Third grade through sixth grade students are also recognized for their positive actions related to the word of the month. These students are given a ticket as a “Loco Leader” every time they are recognized by a staff member at the school.
At the end of each month, one student from each classroom is drawn and they are given a prize that is donated to the school by Elmo’s Pizza, Lassus Handy Dandy, and McDonald’s.
