72 Students Get the Bug
Hasbrouck Heights
/Teterboro Kiwanis Club
Seventy-two
students in Grades 4 and 5 of our local school received the BUG Award from the Kiwanis
Club of Hasbrouck Heights and Teterboro.
The Bug Program (Bring Up
Grades) is a program designed to encourage students to bring up one or more grades one
level in English, Reading, Language Arts and Mathematics without going down in any of
these subjects.
These students received a
"BUG" pin to wear, a pencil and a certificate to take home. Students who receive
straight "A’s" in these subjects will receive an Excellent Eagle
Certificate or a Laudable Leopard Certificate from their principal.
Forty-three fourth graders and
twenty-nine fifth graders received the "BUG" award.
Four students raised their grades
in three subjects; eighteen in two subjects; and fifty in one subject.
The home rooms where the most
"BUG" awards were awarded were ten students from Mrs. Incognito’s Fourth
Grade in Euclid School and ten students from Mrs. Dussault’s Fourth Grade in Lincoln
School.
The Kiwanis Club will continue this program for
each marking period for the remainder of this school year. Kiwanis President Barbara Smith
and Treasurer Peter Gallo made the presentations. ###
