Chicora Elementary School students and staff recently enjoyed a fun anti-bullying performance by Tim Hartman. During the assembly, Mr. Hartman encouraged students to see how much better the world would be if generosity, kindness and respect were the first reaction to every situation. 

The Incentive Committee, made up of a group of teachers within the High School, would like to take the official opportunity to introduce ourselves. 

This year, we have worked hard to provide an atmosphere where we reward students for their hard work, good grades, strong attendance, positive behavior, and of course, being great assets to our school.  The Incentive Committee has provided hot chocolate/popcorn bar, fun activities in the gymnasium, a motivational speaker, Cheeseman’s Fright Farm, a bowling event at Bruin Bowling Lanes, Penguin’s game, among other rewarding events.
