Spirit Week-
Sprit Week
takes place in December. The goal for the entire school is to reach 100,000
spirit points that can be earned through various activities. Students can
raise points by dressing up for theme days, creating bulletins boards to
decorate the school, designing book marks, slogans, and t-shirts, and
bringing in various items to support a local charity. The purpose behind the
spirit week is for the entire school to work together to make our school and
community a better place through sharing, caring, and giving.
IALAC-
I. A. L. A. C. is an
acronym created by Dr. Sidney B. Simon a retired professor of Education from
the University of Massachusetts. Originally, IALAC stood for “I am loving
and capable”. At Haines, students can replace the word capable with other
words like, “caring”. Throughout IALAC week, Haines students recognize the
good works of others and demonstrate acts of kindness. They also post good
acts on IALAC boards and wear IALAC necklaces to signify their IALAC
behavior. IALAC encourages students to be: caring, courteous, considerate,
and many more words that can be used to describe good character.

Feathers For Food-
Feathers
for Food is an activity that takes place in November to help raise money to
support a local food shelter. During lunches, students will have an
opportunity to purchase feathers for $0.50 each. Each feather is then placed
in a box that is for a team of teachers. At the end of the fund raiser, the
team of teachers that has the most feathers in their box will have to dance
to the “turkey dance” in front of the school during an assembly. All of the
money that is collected during that week will be used to purchase turkeys
for the local food shelter.
