Terrific Kids

Terrific Kids is an elementary school program that rewards children for character. Awards are made every month in every grade in five elementary schools. That’s 225 children recognized each year with fun prizes, photo on school bulletin board, and a bumper sticker for the proud parent. The awards are based on six character traits which are promoted by CCUSD. Successful reinforcement of these traits is a result of good partnership within the community.
