Praise and Pizza- A Good Combination

Alicia Laros, principal of Northside Hal Henderson, has discovered a new way to help teachers recognize students and feed them, too. It's called the Supper Club and it meets monthly at Parigi's on the Square.

Students have to be at their best to be invited and the criteria can be other than academic achievement. Teachers look for students showing an increase in effort, an improvement in behavior, or children that make the classroom a nicer place to be. For students who struggle to make the honor roll, this is a great opportunity to be recognized.

Teachers join the fun and parents are invited to participate, too. Thanks to the generosity of Parigi's, students being honored eat free! This is a great example of how the community and schools can join forces to make a difference in the lives of our children.

I wonder who will be dining with this new club next month?
