Terrific Kids is a student-recognition program that promotes character development, self-esteem and perseverance.  “Terrific” is an acronym for Thoughtful, Enthusiastic, Respectful, Responsible, Inclusive, Friendly, Inquisitive, and Capable.” (kiwaniskids.org)

The Terrific Kids program was introduced to Wayne Preparatory Academy and facilitated by Mrs. Kristi Aycock.  Each 9 weeks teachers will recognize 1 scholar from each of their classrooms that has displayed leadership skills that result in a TERRIFIC Kid.  The teachers write a description as to how the scholar they chose displayed TERRIFIC behavior.  On the designated recognition day, Administration and Kiwanis representative deliver awards to classrooms and read the descriptions written by teachers.

As you can imagine this was an exciting and emotional event ~ the power of positive reinforcement and precise praise written by teachers then read to scholars was precious!  Congratulations to all of our TERRIFIC scholars.  We look forward to recognizing another set of scholars over our next 9 weeks.
