Goal

We've Got Spirit! Our school is energized and moving mountains through learning. To continue our momentum, we'd love to buy a School Mascot: Manatee Costume to energize students at events and during education celebrations.  

What will be done with my students

Students will come to know the Manatee Costume as a symbol of celebration. We've borrowed mascot costumes from iReady Reading in the past, to energize students when they meet their goals. Unfortunately, we can only use these mascots when we have them checked out. We'd like to have our own mascot which can be used at any time. Our logo includes an adult manatee and a junior manatee. We hope to buy two mascots in two sizes so that a student leader may also participate by wearing the junior mascot as a leadership opportunity. We plan on students naming the two manatees who have remained nameless all of these years.  

Benefits to my students

Manatee Celebration Ideas Include:
-Quarterly Celebration Assemblies
-Car/Bus Loop Celebrations
-When classes meet their iReady goals.
-When classes meet their math WIGs.
-When students meet their personal goals.
-When students recieve positive referals.
-When students demonstrate good character and visit the book vending machine, the manatee can be there.
-Any events throughout the year: Literacy Week, Red Ribbon Week, Walk n' Roll to School, Fundraisers, Christmas Parade, Book Fair, and many more.
By building School Spirit, students will connect with school and continue to deepen their enjoyment in coming to school.
