At Weatherly Heights Elementary School in Huntsville, Alabama, principal Teri Stokes leads a special assembly to celebrate students' accomplishments each semester. "We make every effort to ensure that every child has successes to celebrate," said Stokes.

You can read the ideas our P-Files team members shared in the article, Celebrating Students: Schools Recognize Achievement in Many Ways.
