WEAR THE CAPE DONATES A HERO ASSEMBLY TO MADISON MONROE SCHOOL #16 IN ELIZABETH, NEW JERSEY

During our Hero Assemblies we teach students that heroes help others. We give our students examples of how to help, and follow up with role play and videos that show students being Better Than That and helping others.

Today we were delighted to help Madison Monroe School #16 in Elizabeth, New Jersey by donating our Hero Assembly to their school. All students, grades K-5, practiced Wearing The Cape, and being Better Than That during our program.

Ms. Colleen, our fantastic facilitator, reminds students, during our program, that it makes you feel good to help others. It really does! Today, we feel so fortunate to have been able to donate our program to an Abbott District in New Jersey, who would not have been able to have us present to their school.

We feel good! Really good! We love that students are Wearing The Cape, that we are bringing smiles to faces of children and teachers, and that we are spreading our kindness message by word and example.

Monmouth Junction Elementary School Uses “Stop and Think…”

October 18, 2016October 18, 2016 twhimsLeave a comment

“Treat others they way you want to be treated.” is a response we heard today from a second grader at Monmouth Junction Elementary School, when asked how you can be kind. The Golden Rule, so simple, and so necessary, is often being overlooked by many. Fortunately, it is not being overlooked at Monmouth Junction School.

The students at Monmouth Junction Elementary were kind and practiced Wearing The Cape by acting Better Than That. As we were leaving the school, we heard students in a first grade classroom say, “Stop and Think,” which is part of our Hero Strategy.

Our Hero Assembly is not just teaching skills and strategies needed to get through the school day, it is teaching life skills, such as being an UP-Stander, Better Than That, and teaching students that it’s cool to be kind.

Memorial Elementary School Knows it’s Cool to Be Kind

Memorial Elementary School, in East Brunswick, New Jersey, is known throughout the community as The Memorial Heroes. They embody heroism and good character, as is evidenced by their Hero Bulletin Boards in their main entrance.

The Memorial Heroes showed how it’s cool to be kind by stating that they try to be heroic every day. In fact, the staff has decided they will all dress as superheroes for Halloween this year, as a tribute to our program, and the message that it sends.

If you would like more information on how to bring our Hero Assembly to a school near you, please email leighann@laerricopartners.com.
