Milton Elementary School's
Star Student of the Month

What is a star student?



What is a Star Student?
The staff of Milton Elementary (MES) wants to catch students doing something right. A student is given a “star card” as an acknowledgement of a good deed. A “Star Card” is given in one or more of the following four categories:
1.Respect
2.Responsibility
3.Caring
4.Safety
Not only can a student be given a star card in the classroom, but also in the halls, playgrounds, school library, on a school bus, cafeteria, offices –anywhere on school grounds. 

The student can redeem star cards for special drawings in their classes or school-wide. Some of the prizes in the classroom would be a “homework pass” (Excused from one homework assignment), extra computer time, lunch time with the teacher, or a material gift: like a special pencil or pen. A school-wide prize might be lunch with the principal, “principal for a day” job, lunch at the “Star Table” (a special honored space in the cafeteria, the ability to “cut” to the front of the lunch-line, and a yummy star cookie). Star card winners are also acknowledged daily during morning announcements. If a student collects 100 star cards during the course of the school year, their name is painted on the “Galaxy of Stars” in the front hallway of the school. 
The Milton Free Library will have one star card student a month highlighted. This student will offer a theme for the library’s entryway display and let the community know a little about themselves so that the community can learn a little more about the great kids at Milton Elementary
