Female middle school student bowling.

On Feb. 11, 12, and 14, our Malone Middle School sixth through eighth graders, along with their teachers, chose to participate in one of three activities that included sledding, skating, or bowling during our enrichment days. The sledding and skating took place at the Malone Civic Center and the bowling at Lucky Strike Lanes.

In an effort to reduce disciplinary referrals and reinforce positive behaviors, the positive support team at the middle school implemented the rewards system that aims to foster an optimistic school culture that extends into the community.

The committee would like to thank the Malone Ice Arena, Malone Recreation Park, and Lucky Strikes Lane for hosting our students. In addition, they'd like to show their appreciation for Adirondack for Kids, Walmart, and Franklin-Essex-Hamilton BOCES for donations to the program and supporting our initiative.
