Having a strong sense of character is extremely important.
Demonstrating good character throughout school promotes a positive learning environment.
At our school, we pride ourselves on teaching, encouraging, and modeling character development through the Bucket Filling way.~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Switlik Bucket Fillers have Panther P.R.I.D.E.🐾❤️⭐🧡⭐💛⭐💚⭐💙⭐💜⭐❤️⭐🧡⭐💛⭐💚⭐💙⭐💜 🐾"A Bucket Filler is someone whose actions or words show
that you care about them."
🌟 Switlik's mission is to help every child reach their maximum potential. Children learn best when they feel “connected” and understand that their teacher, other school staff, and their classmates genuinely care about them. When they feel safe and valued, their buckets are filled and their mental and emotional needs are met. Children with full buckets have strong attendance and receive a considerable boost in their ability to learn and absorb information.
🌟 Switlik students who are filling the buckets of others are Productive, Respectful, have Integrity, Do their best, and Encourage others ⇾ Panther P.R.I.D.E.
🌟Recognition ceremonies take place every month and students receive a celebratory lunchtime treat from our Principal and Assistant Principal along with other members of our Switlik Bucket Filling Team.
