Ice Cream with the Principal
This is a program to reward responsible behavior outside the classroom.
Students are given tickets when they are "caught" being good citizens
on the playground and in the lunchroom. Every month a ticket is drawn from
those accumulated at each grade level, and those students get ice cream
with Mr. Shadle, our principal. These students also get a certificate and
their names in the school newsletter, along with all the others in the drawing
that month.
Social
Worker
Naches Trail has a full-time counselor/social worker, Mrs. Thomas. She
works with individuals in crisis, and with individuals and groups to promote
good social skills, good friendships, and responsible behavior. She helps
teachers with discipline problems and sits on a team which reviews referrals
for special services.
Our school could never function smoothly without Mrs. Thomas's help!

Conflict Managers
Mrs. Thomas trains a group of intermediate students each year to be
conflict managers on the playground during primary and intermediate recesses.
These students are taught how to defuse angry confrontations and to remind
students of their options when they are in conflict. They are also taught
when to go for adult help from playground supervisors when situations are
beyond their powers to resolve.

Multicultural
Naches Trail has a diverse student population. We consider that an asset
and try to show our students how to value the richness of the cultural heritages
represented in our student body and community. About every other year we
have a multicultural fair. And we have multicultural assemblies several
times a year.

Student Council
Student Council is made up of representatives elected by classmates
from each classroom in grades 4-6. They discuss and help make school rules,
as well as helping decide on ASB fund disbursements. This group meets monthly,
and student representatives report to all classes to keep them informed.

Crossing Guards
This is a group of 5th and 6th graders who assist an adult crossing
guard in helping children safely cross the main intersection by our school
each morning.
