On the last Thursday of the month, fourth-grade students at East Hills Elementary School are introduced to quotes by influential figures—curated by the Shared Decision Making Committee. Their collection of quotations promotes perseverance, kindness, optimism and dedication.
Student representatives deliver these words of wisdom via the morning announcements and display them on posters adorning the walls.
Students, teachers and families are encouraged to discuss the meaning and relevance of the chosen quote in their lives. To enhance the shared experience, each student receives a bookmark featuring the quotation.
