I CAN Club

Student recognition is the focus of our Partnership in Education with MU Administrative Services. One part of the Student Recognition Program is the "I CAN Club." Three times a year, a student from each program can be selected by their peers and/or teachers to receive the I Can Club Award. A recognition breakfast is held at the Reynolds Alumni Center for students, parents and invited guests. Students are called to the stage to receive a personalized certificate that explains why the student is receiving the award, and a pen/pencil set. Each award is personalized with an explanation of why the student is receiving the award. Students must have demonstrated behaviors - which are called Career Center Expectations - that are often associated with good employees. These behaviors are:

• Attendance - on time and present each day, prepared to work and eager to learn.
• Respect - demonstrate respectful behaviors towards themselves and others.
• Responsibility - demonstrate integrity and leadership and accept responsibility for their own learning.
• Quality - show an interest in producing high quality work, regardless of the task given.
• Safety - demonstrate safe work habits and are careful with any tools and equipment.
• Teamwork - demonstrate the ability to work with others and are helpful to teachers and peers.

After a recent I Can Club breakfast, Sharon Naylor, mother of one of the students recognized, sent a note of appreciation:

"We attended the program at the Alumnae Center and thought you all did an outstanding job."
