TVJA Eagle Feather's are given out to students when they are observed by
staff
using characteristics of the Fruits of the Spirit and/or LifeLong Guidelines
during school.
Some of the qualaties looked for are: caring, courage, pride, integrity,
perseverance, organization, responsibility, cooperation, curiosity,
flexibility, common sense, patience, friendship, initiative, effort, problem-
solving, resourcefulness, forgiveness, self-control, flexibility,
truthfulness,
initiative, and sense of humor.
When a student receives an Eagle Feather, they take the white copy to the
office where it is placed in a box. This box is then taken to special all
school assemblies where Mr.Chamberlian and Mr.Cone pick at least ten or
fifteen
white copies at random. The students called receive a small prize and
praise
for Going Above and Beyond in their positive actions and attitude.
The yellow copy of the Eagle Feather should come home for families to see.
Not
all students will receive a prize at the school assemblies (part of learning
to
be flexible and accepting some disappointment). However, if your child
brings
an Eagle Feather home you may want to find ways to praise them for their
positive efforts.
The students REALLY look forward to these Eagle Feather Assemblies!
