| Jefferson Elementary School - Monticello, FL |
The adults at Jefferson Elementary School know the importance of modeling the PeaceBuilders Principles in order to encourage
their students to be PeaceBuilders.
One of the many ways they promote a PeaceBuilding culture is through the wide use of PraiseNotes which are displayed on unique,
creative PraiseBoards all over campus.

On this bright, organized PraiseBoard, each young child in this classroom has a
pocket to store his or her PraiseNotes.

Along with PraiseNotes, this PraiseBoard includes the PeaceBuilders
Pledge poster and other peaceful designs.

The bottom right corner of this PraiseBoard has pockets for both PraiseNotes and Apology Notes so that youth can write a
praise or apology at anytime. The display also includes a list of logical consequences for non-PeaceBuilding behaviors along with the
PeaceBuilders Pledge indicating that this wise teacher uses PeaceBuilders as an important component of the discipline plan.

The creative staff at Jefferson Elementary illustrates that every PraiseBoard can be different and proves that "different" is a
good thing because it opens our minds to new ideas. PeaceBuilders at Jefferson Elementary appreciate the differences in others and
praise the good in all!
