TERRIFIC Kids for the months of May and June have been selected at the Dallas Elementary School. TERRIFIC is an acronym that stands for T-Thoughtful, E-Enthusiastic, R-Responsi- ble, R-Respectful, I-Inclusive, F-Friendly, I- inquisitive, and C-capable. Betsy Jerome, guidance counselor for Dal- las Elementary School, started this program as a school-wide approach to encourage pos- itive behavior, positive character traits and leadership within the school. The winners are chosen monthly by the staff from each homeroom and are given the opportunity to participate in a community or school-based project. Approximately 50 students in grades pre- school through fifth grade win each month. The PTO supports the program by awarding the students with a pin. The goal for the pro- gram each month is for the older students to peer guide the younger TERRIFIC kids each month on their leadership goal. Some of the activities students participat- ed in are The Back Mountain Food Pantry/ Caring Day, Earth Day and Christmas wrap- ping for the needy.
