Kiwanis Sponsors "Bring Up Grades" At Two Schools

LABELLE, FL. -- The Kiwanis Club of LaBelle sponsors a program called Bring Up Grades (BUG), designed to provide recognition to students who raise their grades into an acceptable range and maintain or continue to raise them from one grading period to the next.

Students are empowered to participate in their own academic success, which builds self-confidence, perseverance and character. They attain important life skills known as developmental assets, that help them make smart choices.

According to the Search Institute, an organization focused on helping youth succeed, the more developmental assets a student attains the less likely he or she is to participate in risky behavior and the more likely he or she is to succeed. Students also develop important social and emotional skills.

The Kiwanis Club of LaBelle is very proud to recognize and congratulate these students from West Glades School who raised their grades by at least one letter grade in two subjects with out going down in any. Additionally, on January 22nd the Kiwanis Club of LaBelle gave 88 BUG awards to students at Ed Upthegrove Elementary School.
