Friday, March 16^th

Character Craze is a NEW and EXCITING event that Belleville East is starting sponsored by BASIC. This week is devoted to making Belleville East “beleaf” in positive character both at school and outside of school.

Belleville East Character Craze Week Activities:

Megan Meier Foundation Fund

BASIC will be teaming up with the student body to raise money to support the Megan Meier Foundation. Donate at least $0.50 during your lunch hour to receive a black and white polka dot ribbon to wear on your lanyard. All proceeds will be donated directly to the Megan Meier Foundation.

Megan Meier Assembly

On Friday, March 16, Tina Meier will be presenting the mission of the Megan Meier Foundation. “The mission of the Megan Meier Foundation is to bring awareness, education and promote positive change to children, parents, and educators in response to the ongoing bullying and cyber bullying in our children’s daily environment.” At the assembly, Tina Meier will be presented with a check from the collection during the lunch hours.

Beleaf Tree

During the lunch hours, students are encouraged to fill out a leaf to share with the rest of the student body about what good character means to them. The tree will be displayed at the assembly on Friday.

Fill the Trailer

During the Character Craze Week, a trailer will be displayed on Central Terrace to collect clothing and other items for the Violence Prevention Center. The Violence Prevention Center works to protect those who are victims of domestic abuse. All proceeds will go to this organization.
