On November 3rd, Skano Elementary kicked off a new
Bucketfilling Program to complement No Putdowns;
both of which support character education as mandated by NYS.
Students are taught to be bucketfillers (people who are kind and caring), and not bucket-dippers.
Skano is proudly featured in an article in The Bucketfillers For Life, Inc. newsletter. Click here to read the article (on page 2) and see pictures of their exciting new sign.

 Visit Skano's Counseling Center for helpful information.

 Then check out Shenendehowa's 
Character Education page to see what else is happening in the district!

We are a bucket filling school!

We fill buckets...no dipping!

NO PUTDOWNS PLEDGE

“We, the students of Skano Elementary School, pledge to uphold the basic principles of the
No Putdowns program. 
We will practice the skills that we have learned in order to foster a kind and caring school community.”
