No,
it wasn’t
Big Bird, or Super Chicken, or even Mr.
McChicken…it was our
principal, Mr. Wieneke, dressed up as Subman
in a six foot sandwich box. He shuffled
stiffly across the gym floor to present another
Subway sponsored award at the Student of
the Month assembly — our student body
cheered!
Subway of Alaska
joined us each month
at our awards assemblies. They handed out"Citizen of the Month" certificates,
as well as cool Subway hats for the seven students
that earned that award each month.
Over the year they
also provided our students
with meals as incentives for many
programs at our school. Some of those
programs
included a reading program (given
at designated levels), and a reading-log
accomplishment (reading and keeping
track of how many pages you read). Six
students got to go once a month to lunch
with our principal at Subway on Lake
Otis
(for a Caught- Being-Good incentive program).
Once, Subway even gave our school
free tickets to a Seawolves Hockey Game,
and all of our Student Council members
got to go to. That was really cool!!
Subway also treated
our teachers on
several occasions with a big Party Platter
full of sandwiches for when they were
having
a training or working late.
The students and
staff are truly grateful to Subway for supporting our school
this
year. We are looking forward to them
being
our business partners for the years
to
come! |
 Paulette Missal, first grade teacher
"The value of Subway’s support was
most evident in the smiles and joyful eyes
of the children as they heard their names
called over the intercom or in front of
the
assembled student body."
Eileen Burnside, first grade
teacher
" It was an incredible experience
for my
students to be rewarded and recognized
in
the community for their positive leadership
at school.
Rhonda Neill, parent
I really appreciate Subway’s support of
the school wide reading initiative. It
really
got my kids to read and turn in their reading
logs.
Mary Schrage, PTA Vice-President
"Our relationship with Subway really
recreated our sense of community at the
school and promoted our external assets
for our students. "
