MARCH
SCHOOL CULTURE ACTIVITIES FOR MARCH
Heard the phrase “March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb?” Don’t let your school face the end of the year feeling meek. By doing one or more of the activities below, you can all finish the year with the strength of a lion. Fun, easy and effective bonding? Sign us up. It’s time for a Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament! This Renaissance favorite supports a sense of community with an energizing, school-wide tournament that ANY student could win.
End the month by reinforcing connections between students and Staffulty with Compliment Clothespins! Reinforce behaviors you want to see more of in students with visual and tangible recognition. Purchase our Compliment Clothespins (or create your own) to recognize your school’s “Drama Minimizers,” “Goal Getters,” “Team Players” and more!
