P.R.I.D.E at Kailua Elementary School

Aloha,

At Kailua Elementary School, they are teaching their students P.R.I.D.E.

P= Positive Attitude

R= Respect & Responsibility

I= Integrity

D= Discipline

E= Excellence

When students achieve these things, they collect "Honu Bucks" that can be redeemed for rewards.

Pre-K- 2nd grade redeem their Honu Bucks at the Honu Store. 3rd- 6th grade can buy extra recess or redeem them for a chance to have lunch with a local celebrity role model.

Jalee Fuselier, Miss Hawaii 2010, was the first celebrity lunch guest to be invited to the school. They all ate lunch together in the library and asked her all sorts of questions like...

"Do you live in a mansion?"

"Why do you like to sing?"

"Is your crown plastic?"

"Is it hard work being Miss Hawaii?"

They were able to share about their own dreams and hear how she accomplished her dreams.

By rewarding these attributes, Kailua Elementary School encourages their students to be better citizens, have strong values, and even teaches them how to budget their honu bucks!

It is great to see a great program like this active in Kailua!

Dream Academy- Fall 2010!

Ready for the Real World is thrilled to announce that Dream Academy Hawaii has begun it's 6th year at Haleiwa Elementary School!

Dream Academy is a reading and mentoring program for elementary school girls in grades 1st-3rd. There are High school volunteers who control each meeting and junior helpers from 4th-6th grade who learn to be leaders as they help their peers.

Dream Academy is a proven program that helps develop the social, academic, performance, and leadership skills of the young women it reaches.

Through reading books, playing interactive and educational games, and performing arts, these at-risk children learn the skills needed to be leaders among their peers.

If you are interested in becoming a reading mentor for young girls at Haleiwa Elementary School, please contact Ready for the Real World at info@readyforscholarships.com!

Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve.
