Local
Teacher Recognized as Terrific Kids
Sponsor
Bobby Roberson,
President of the Kiwanis Club of Washington,
presented a plaque to Carol Windley, Guidance
Counselor at Chocowinity Primary School for 8
years of service as a sponsor of the Terrific
Kids Program. The presentation was made during
the club's regular weekly meeting at King
Chicken.
Terrific Kids is a
student-recognition program that promotes
character development, self-esteem and
perseverance. The program is part of the local
Kiwanis Club's youth programs.
Students work with their classroom teacher to
establish goals to improve behavior, peer
relationships, attendance or school work.
All students who achieve their goals after a
specified time are recognized as Terrific Kids.
Also participating in
the award presentation were (left to right)

School; Mr. Roberson; Ms. Windley; Gil Davis,
Chairman of the Terrific Kids Program; and Liz
Picone, Guidance Counselor and Terrific Kids
sponsor at Eastern Elementary School.
The Kiwanis Club of
Washington meets each Tuesday for lunch at King
Chicken on Carolina Avenue, Washington. The club
welcomes prospective members who have an
interest in service to the community.
