Good morning Bobcat Nation! So much awesomeness is going on at Don Brewer Elementary! Prior to being interrupted by Mother Nature, we began our House Meetings on our first early release day in September! Our school is divided into 4 Houses: Amistad (The Friends), Reveur (The Dreamers), Isibindi (The Courageous), and Altruismo (The Givers). The houses make up smaller communities within Bobcat Nation, for students to socialize and learn from each other across all grades and classes. Each house represents different traits, traditions, and history. The House System helps students to:
- Build character and school-wide community- provides opportunities for students to socialize with peers outside of their classes and with positive adult role models beyond just their classroom teachers
- Provide youth leadership opportunities
- Promote a culture of constructive competition - students learn how to be team players, contribute their efforts toward a group, and learn that those who working hard and stick with it are often the ones rewarded
Ask which House YOUR student is in!
These images are from the first Amistad House Meeting! Looking forward to providing more exciting news and pictures from ALL of the amazing things happening at Don Brewer!
