“Do you have
what it takes to be an A.C.E.?”
Each year, the same question is posed to the student body of Greenville
Junior High on the first day of school. “Do you have what it
takes to be an A.C.E.?”
On June 1, 2015 the Junior High will recognize those students who have
maintained a great Attitude, made good Choices, and exhibited
tremendous Effort during the 2014-2015 school year! This will be
the ninth annual End of Year A.C.E. celebration.
The A.C.E. program was started in the spring of 2006 under the
direction of Student Leaders advisor, Mr. Paul Ericksen, and retired
guidance counselor, Ms. Jody Flommersfeld. The
mission of the program is to acknowledge the social achievements and
outstanding contributions of the students through a process of
reinforcement, recognition and reward. Each student begins the
school year as an A.C.E. They are encouraged to make good choices
and demonstrate socially responsible behavior in order to keep that
status. Detentions and other discipline referrals lower the
student’s status to King, Queen or Jack. But not all is lost –
students can regain their A.C.E. status through improvements in G.P.A.,
BUG (Being Unusually Good) awards or Maid Rite Sportsmanship awards.
Each quarter students who have remained an A.C.E. receive a special
reward. During the first quarter A.C.E. students earned a movie
reward. Students were shown Million Dollar Arm. Those who
made it through the first two quarters were treated to a special
celebration in front of the entire student body. Students’ names
were announced by Mr. Fiely as they were handed a customized A.C.E.
t-shirt and sent through a balloon arch amid music and the applause of
the student leaders. For many students, it was their first
recognition in front of their peers! At the end of the third
quarter, A.C.E. students earned a pizza luncheon. On June 1,
students who have maintained their A.C.E. status all year long will
earn an end of the year picnic and dance party. Mr. Ericksen and
Mr. Mortensen will grill hotdogs and D.J. West will provide the
music.
