13. Rotary Bike Assemblies each month for students who exhibit exemplary character traits and behavior each day: at the Rotary Assemblies, these students win a free bike and helmet!
14. House System: students in each grade are assigned to a House. Students in the same classroom are not necessarily in the same House with each other or in the same House as their homeroom teacher. We hope that this House System will enhance our students' feeling of belonging while inspiring them to work as a team in order to earn House Points for their House. Each House is named after a different Latin term that encompasses character traits and values that we desire in our students and ourselves!
