Every morning, Plainfield students make a promise. Right after we pledge allegiance to our flag, we make another pledge to ourselves and each other. The Plainfield Promise highlights our commitment to creating an environment where all students feel welcome and safe. It goes something like this:
I promise to try to do my best
every single day.
Being respectful, responsible and safe
when I work and play.
I'll listen when my teacher speaks
and follow every rule.
I'm proud to be a student here
at Plainfield School!
These words help define us as Peacemakers. Each student is learning that respect, responsibility, and safety are the result of the choices we make each day. When we make better choices individually, we grow as a community of learners collectively.
Children who keep their promise throughout the trimester are recognized and rewarded with an afternoon of fun. Today, 318 of Plainfield's finest enjoyed iPad puzzlers, free drawing, and a super high energy dance party.
It would be difficult to capture the excitement in words, so here's a small snapshot of our celebration. Enjoy!
