Dear Parents,This year we are enthusiastically introducing a new

character development program called Bucket Filling. Bucket filling is an easy-to-understand concept: “Everyone carries an invisible bucket that holds our good thoughts and feelings. When our buckets are full, we feel happy and when our buckets are empty, we feel sad.” Children quickly understand that they can fill buckets when they do and say things that are kind, considerate, caring and respectful. They also learn that when they are mean, inconsiderate, uncaring or disrespectful, they dip into buckets and remove those good feelings. Even the youngest child understands that actions and words can either fill a bucket or dip into it.

During this school year we are encouraging, reminding and recognizing everyone’s efforts to be bucket filler at home, at school, and everywhere they go. We are excited about this new program and look forward to your support.

If you would like to learn more about bucket filling, visit the Bucket Fillers website: bucketfillers101.com. Bucket fillers offers a free weekly e-newsletter for parents and teachers.

How to be a Bucket FillerTell a someone you are glad they are your friendHelp someone who is having troublePick up all your trash at lunchtimeAsk your mom if she needs help with dinnerPlay a game with your younger brother or sisterShare your supplies in the classroomLet someone get in line in front of youTell the truth even if it means you may get in troubleStick up for your friends when others are being
