Using+Our+Golden+Hearts

= Using Our Golden Hearts = Slackwood School follows the Golden Rule: Treat others the way you want to be treated. Students and staff use their "Golden Hearts" by following and modeling the Golden Rule in their daily interactions. Slackwood students take pride in describing how they use their Golden Hearts, and it is included in their Character Education journals. Students write "Golden Heart" announcements read by the Booster Club each day during morning announcements, broadcast into classrooms on their televisions. A Golden Heart announcement is a way for students to acknowledge an act of kindness, consideration, respect, or helpfulness that another student has performed that helped the student writing the announcement. Slackwood School students know that students and adults use their Golden Hearts. They see their teachers practicing Golden-Hearted behavior in school through their positive language, their warmth toward students and their families, and teamwork displayed by all members of the staff.
