Each month, Akin Road focuses on a
different character trait.To reinforce this character education
experience, students receive monthly classroom guidance lessons that
relate to each Tiger Pride Theme. Students can also earn Tiger Star
Awards by displaying kind, helpful or responsible choices in and out of
their classrooms. Students then enter their awards for a prize drawing,
which are announced bi-weekly. Examples of prizes include: Time with a teacher of choice, play games with Mrs. Pfeiffer, take a walk with the principal, or a Book Fair coupon. Also, each
month, ARES staff select an All-Star student who consistently
displays the current theme. Monthly All-Star programs are held
to recognize these students, to which family members are invited to
attend.
