The Student of the Week program at J. E. Harrison Middle School is run by the Positive Communication Committee. Each week the 10 Core Teams, four in sixth grade, three in seventh grade and three in eighth grade, plus the Physical Education Team, the Music Team and the Encore Team nominate students to be Students of the Week. These students possess a positive character trait. The traits are chosen from those studied during Homebase activities. Each Student of the Week will have a congratulatory letter sent home to their parents or guardians, will have a candy bar and a certificate delivered to their homebase, and will have their name displayed in the library with the other chosen students. Students can be chosen as Student of the Week only once each school year.
