The Little Red School House 2009 Winners
Canton School District
The Little Red School House Award is presented
to a school district that is selected for
implementing the most significant, innovative
and successful education program or project.
The
C-
HAWK
Advantage is a K-12 program that focuses on the
timeless principles of Character, Honor,
Achievement, Wisdom, Knowledge, and Service.
By focusing on these six principles,
students are provided with a solid foundation
for success.
“Learning
to Soar” is the elementary level of the
program. Students
are nominated by teachers and recognized each
month on the “C-
HAWK
Advantage” bulletin board and are given a
t-shirt that was designed by the elementary
student council.
“Earning Your Wings” is the middle school and high school level
of the program.
Students participating in
extra-curricular and co-curricular activities
are invited to a weekly C-
HAWK
Talk
during Advisory time.
Special guest speakers are invited to
visit with students about the principles of the
C-
HAWK
Advantage.
STARS
or Students Taking A Right Stand is another important aspect of the C-
HAWK
Advantage.
This year 10 students were recognized for their commitment to making
good choices. Because the STARS
program is sponsored by Canton Drug and Alcohol Coalition, all participants
must also commit to staying drug and alcohol free during their high school
career. Six seniors are
recognized each year at graduation and are presented with a “Soaring
C-Hawk” figurine and framed certificate.
This is fast becoming a highlight of the graduation ceremony.
Canton
school
district is helping build a foundation that will help students achieve
success throughout their lifetime.
