As mentioned at left, we use Shane’s
offer to support one aspect of our
school-wide discipline program focusing
on Character Education such as Positive
Attitude, responsibility, Fairness,
Citizenship, etc. Our students know that
Domino’s is donating the food each
month and that they, as a business,
value students learning positive social
skills and behavior. We celebrate this
partnership regularly in our newsletter,
over the intercom, and at our monthly
"Lunch with the Principal" for students.
Our PTA supports this partnership by
using Dominos for pizza at many of their
special events and functions throughout
the school year. Our sixth-graders used
Domino’s coupons to help raise $ for
their sixth grade camp trip too.
"Domino’s willingness to support our
Character Education Program for the last
2 years has really made a positive
impact on the climate of our school.
Students are excited about the monthly
lunches and we’ve had many positive
comments from our families about the
partnership as well." -Gene
Janigo, Principal
"Great community involvement and
support for various youth programs!
Always willing to lend a hand." -Jim
Young, 3rd Grade Teacher& Dimond High Girls
basketball Coach
"It’s a powerful thing to see six and
seven year olds putting on puppet
shows that are modeling behaviors such
as tolerance and trustworthiness."
V. Wolfe – 1st
grade teacher

"Gladys Wood’s partnership with
Domino’s seems to be a mutually beneficial
program that is successful in so
many ways. At Gladys Wood kids are
caught being good regularly and
acknowledged for those positive behaviors.
That alone is a valuable achievement,
but because Domino’s donates
pizza to the program, kids know that the
more they exhibit these social skills the
greater the possibility of getting a special
lunch with their principal. The more kids
want to practice, the more they do practice
and the better their behavior
becomes. Domino’s, in it’s foresight, realizes
that having kids practice good
social skills like honesty, tolerance, and
fairness only benefits them in a few short
years when these same young people
will be working for them handling their
cash and dealing with customers. The
schools, businesses, and society in general,
benefit from programs like these
when they all work together to make the
effort to shape young people into decent
and honorable teens and adults."
-Seana Holden, second grade teacher
Here’s what some second graders
say:
Allessandra: "People who do good in
class and listen and learn, get pizza for
lunch. Domino’s likes to do this for us
because we work hard."
Eli: "Domino’s wants to help support
our school."
Gabrielle: "Domino’s thinks it’s nice
to give pizza to people that do well (with
behavior)"
Jacob: "Domino’s does it to support
kids at school and to show pride for the
kids who do a good job."
