Patriot Pals
In 1999, Rhea Elementary began a new program
designed to bring together the wisdom of high school students and the wonder of
our elementary students. The project that came out of that is our program
called Patriot Pals.
Student athletes, musicians, and honor students from
Henry County High School, the Patriots, come to our school once a month to
visit with a classroom that has been assigned to them. The elementary students
look forward to this visit as the high school students are like role models or
big brothers and sisters to them.
The high school students prepare motivational words
that encourage Rhea students to develop a strong character within themselves. This year we are tying each month's visit with
our monthly "Character Counts" themes. Some of these themes include
having good manners, being responsible, and being respectful.
The staff at Rhea school is confident that the
Patriot Pals program is beneficial to all students, both young and old!
