All we need are for the Kiwanis Clubs to be sure their sponsored
youth participants are getting registered and subsequent
invoices paid. by Vickie Nelson, Public Relations Specialist, Somerset County Public Schools
The Crisfield
Kiwanis Club has teamed up with Carter G. Woodson Elementary
School to reward students who bring up their grades
by sponsoring the BUGS Program (Bring Up GradeS). One
hundred twenty-nine students in grades 1-5 were recently
rewarded for improving their grades from the first
marking period. Each student received a certificate
and a pencil.
Kiwanian Jack Morgan, chairman of the BUGS Committee, who was instrumental in bringing the program to Woodson Elementary, saw this as another opportunity to provide incentives to students to strive to do better in school. This program rewards students who otherwise, may never get recognized because it is for every student who raises their grade even if they are very low to start. BUGS awards are given beginning with the second marking period as the first marking period grades are used as the baseline.
The Crisfield Kiwanis Club has been in existence for 62 years and the BUGS Program is just one more way they give back to the community. Woodson Elementary is honored to be collaborating with the Kiwanis Club in this special program.
