Urbandale, IA: CC! Events Throughout the Area

Among the September 2005 CC! events at Urbandale schools, according to the Des Moines Register:

  • Summit Middle. Students learned about the U.S. Constitution and began using the Six Pillars to develop a constitution for the school. All students will help, and should therefore have a sense of ownership about it and responsibility for applying it.
  • Dallas Center-Grimes High. The school added Student of the Week to its Student Pillar of the Month program. Peers or teachers nominate students who display the Pillars, and workplace readiness teacher Scott Heitland will reveal the boy and girl who win either front-row parking spaces for the week or a ticket to go to the head of the lunch line. The first four CC! winners were Andrea Cain, Nathan Comes, Katie Minnich and Aaron Stover.
  • St. Joseph. The CC! kickoff rally took place Friday, September 23 in the gym. Respect is the Pillar for October, and parents, staff and students can nominate young people "Caught Being Good." Students also donated $1,000 for Hurricane Katrina relief.
