Our school-wide positive behavior support program focuses on Bucket Filling - A program built upon the ideas of Dr. Donald Clifton.
We fill someone’s bucket when we use kind words and give compliments and praise. When we are negative and hurtful toward another we are part of emptying their bucket and decreasing their esteem. Students who are bucket fillers will reflect our words of character and leadership in their actions by going above and beyond to help others , giving compliments , being supportive and inclusive of everyone, and resolving conflict peacefully while thinking Win-Win.
This program has come to be loved by staff and students at Sycamore since it's opening days! It helps us to continue to create a safe and positive climate in which everyone will feel confident to take risks and support one another while being respectful and following our H.E.R.O character traits.
Bucket fillers are selected by their classroom teacher or other staff members for showing remarkable kindness, help, effort, or perseverance. We will be honoring our bucket fillers during our morning Hero Hype assembly each week.
