Over the course of the year, students are reminded of the ten Bluewater Character Traits, and what it means to be a Ripley Raven and 'fly above the line: Staff award house points when they see students go out of their way to be kind, caring or respectful. At other times, house points are just a fun way to encourage everyone to participate in our school spirit days. When asked about how they thought they could earn house points, Mrs. Wilken's Gr. 1/2 class said: `by saying sorry if you accidently bump somebody; `by helping somebody to tie their shoes; 'by being a good friend; 'by picking up gar- bage if you see some on the floor' and `by telling the teacher if somebody gets hurt so they can get a bandaid: House points are tallied several times throughout the year, and the winning colour spends 40 minutes with the principal on a Friday after- noon doing fun activities. The overall winners celebrate with an ice cream treat at the end of the year. Our overall goal is to provide a respectful, fun and caring environment where students know it is a safe place to learn and grow.
