Bucket Filling (showing love and respect for others)

Bucket Dipping (bullying) hurts everyone and when you dip into someone else's bucket you cannot fill your own.

Recently, Faith Smith from Bucket  Fillers for Life visited Skano. Students in grades K-3 attended an assembly where  student and teacher volunteers role played bucket filling. The students learned about the power of choice in their life.  Students in grades 4 and 5 received classroom workshops where they were given the opportunity to examine their lives and choices more intensively. Student completed an activity called "Why I Love and Respect You". 

A special thank you to Wendy DeRose and Al Green for the amazing Bucket Filling display they created for our cafeteria.
