Student Activities at Genesee Hill

At Genesee Hill Elementary we feel that participation in student-oriented activities is a vital part of a student’s education. Therefore, a wide range of school programs are available for students, see below what’s currently going on at Genesee Hill.

Reading Buddies

Classrooms of the secondary grades will pair up with the classrooms of the primary grades for Reading Buddies. When the classes initially meet, an older student will be matched with a younger student, and the older student will either read to or be read to by the younger student. One of the most endearing moments of this program is when a kindergarten points to an older student and tells his parent, with great awe “that’s my reading buddy” or the older student says the same about a first grader, with a sense of pride.

Kindness Council

The Ambassadors of Kindness (AOK) Council is a group of 4th and 5th grade students that have volunteered to be leaders in kindness for the students and staff at Genesee Hill Elementary. Each month the AOK Council leads the GHE community to different kindness challenges, with the hopes of continually finding opportunities and ways to show kindness both at school and in our community. Throughout the year, we celebrate kindness through the lenses of celebrating diversity, having gratitude, integrity and courage as well as giving to and caring for others.  Each year we host a food drive, create a gratitude tree, host a toiletries drive and so much more.
