Cool Kids 

Cool Kids is a character-building social and emotional learning program that teaches students skills and character principles for handling interpersonal and emotional situations, such as peer pressure, anger, responsibilities, bullying, and conflicts.  Students learn the skills taught in Cool Kids largely through discussion and role-plays during classroom guidance.   For online information, please find the Cool Kids homepage link listed below. 

Why Try

Through the Why Try Program, we teach social and emotional principles to students in a way they can understand and remember.  This is accomplished using visual analogies that link principles such as resisting peer-pressure, problem solving skills, and that decisions have consequences.  Please click on the file below for more details. 

 Rachel's Challenge

Mooneyham will also be continuing Rachel's Challenge (RC) this year. Rachel Scott was the first student shot in Columbine. Her father Darrell Scott continues her legacy and goal to touch people's lives. Rachel lived on the values of Kindness & Compassion and that is what this program teaches. There are 5 Challenges in this program that the students will learn about. They are: Influence, Goal Setting, Journaling, Acceptance, and Kindness.

In order to promote kindness and compassion, each classroom will start a chain of links.  Links are earned by students and staff for demonstrating acts of kindness & compassion.  At the end of the school year, we will connect our chains to form a school wide chain representing all the kindness and compassion shown throughout the year!   

"I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go."  Rachel Scott
