Page 9 Moore Intermediate KICK team encourages students, builds leadership skills John W. Moore’s KICK TEAM is at it again! KICK, or Keeping It Classy Kids, meets once a week to talk about the variety of issues that pre-teen girls encounter, as well as provide opportunities to strengthen their leadership skills. The KICK team meets with approximately 40 girls for twelve weeks each semester to help them meet our schoolwide behavior expectations. The students were selected by homeroom teachers and identified as students with special qualities who show tremendous leadership potential. This year we are encouraging kindness by distributing Kindness Jars to each of our home rooms. The KICK girls are responsible for going into the classes and explaining the project to our students. As the Kindness Jars are filled, the home rooms will be identified as a Certified Kind Classroom. We are also partnering with high school girls at the Governor’s School in Hartsville and becoming Pen Pals with them. We are planning a trip to visit our pen pals this spring and are thrilled to experience some of their STEM activities on their campus. Today’s KICK girls will be our community leaders of tomorrow. Character.org selected the KICK TEAM as a 2018 Promising Practice. Moore was one of only three South Carolina schools to be chosen.
