Here are a couple of quick program descriptions for clubs not familiar with Kiwanis International’s most popular elementary school programs:

Terrific Kids

Terrific Kids is a recognition program that promotes character development, positive self esteem, and perseverance. Students establish specific goals to improve behavior, peer relationships, attendance, or schoolwork, and strive to attain these goals. Recognition includes being pinned as a Terrific Kid, a pizza, ice cream, or other food-themed party, and presentation of certificates, pencils, stickers, and other giveaways.

Bring Up Grades

Bring Up Grades (or BUG) is a program designed to provide recognition to students who raise their grades into an acceptable range and maintain or continue to raise them from one grading period to the next. Recognition includes being placed on the school’s BUG Roll, a pizza, ice cream, or other food-themed party, and presentation of certificates, lapel pins, pencils, and other giveaways.
