11-11 Made a Big Splash!
11-11 efforts this year were a big hit at Green Mountain High School! Some of the things we did in encouraging students to make a difference in eleven other lives that day were:
- 11-11 You Have Made a Difference” cards – students gave these to people saying thank you for how they have impacted their lives
- We made posters for the staff in each department at school and asked students to sign them thanks the staff in that department for all they do
- We gave a goodie bag to each Advisement (homeroom/study hall) teacher with treats for every student and teacher in that class
- At the doors as everyone arrived in the morning, we gave out candy to wish them a good day.
- We collected “$1 for a Flower” for an outreach to St. Anthony’s Hospital patients and staff
- Students had the chance to decorate get well cards for St. Anthony’s patients
- Students signed big poster-sized cards for St. Anthony’s staff
- Students and staff did other personalized things to reach out to others to
We also had a Rally to bring schools together to celebrate the difference we collectively made that day. We had speakers and special guests:
- Dr. Cindy Stevenson – Jeffco Public Schools Superintendent – who we gave the Lifetime of Compassion” Award for her service to our district – since she is retiring in June
