On June 5, Mott Hall Charter School at 1260 Franklin Ave., will host its final Virtual RISE assembly for the school year at 10 a.m.
It will honor the achievements of its student and staff members who have excelled in high engagement, focus, teamwork, integrity and responsibility, among other positive behaviors. Their notable feats will be celebrated and rewarded with “RISE points,” which signify strides in their development.
The top RISE point earners from each class are given the title, “Elite Status” and with this status, each a special set of privileges. Two students from each grade are also presented with a character award in recognition of positive character traits, including self-control, open-mindedness, bravery and kindness. Dr. Meghan Oppenheimer, assistant principal of guidance, announces the scholar who exhibits the character strength of the month.
Located in Morrisania, the Mott Hall Charter School is a middle school for grades six, seven and eight.
