R1 Champs
R1 CHAMPS Program
Richland One “CHAMPS” (Caring Hearts Making Positive Shifts) Program is a district-wide initiative designed to place positive role models on the campuses of schools to provide assistance to staff with empowering, inspiring, and encouraging students to achieve their full potential.
. The goals of the program are:
- To welcome students to school at the beginning of the day while providing them with positive inspiration for the day;
- To connect, engage, inspire, support, and motivate students to strive to achieve their full potential;
- To provide a presence in the halls during class change to ensure students are moving and reporting to class on time;
- To serve as an extra set of eyes in the hallways, on campus grounds and around restrooms to alleviate issues (i.e., smoking, fighting, etc.);
- To help the school staff during school assemblies, special events, etc.;
- To assist the school staff at the end of the day during the dismissal of school.
The main goal is to be a positive influence for the students during the school day and to be a helping hand to school staff as they work to provide quality education to students.
