On Monday, the Kiwanis Club of Nassau AM launched its Bring Up Grades (BUG) programme at Palmdale Primary School.

This is a programme designed to provide recognition to students who raise their grades into an acceptable range and maintain or continue to raise them from one grading period to the next.

Students take an active role in determining their involvement in the program, which motivates them to achieve. Students participate in peer mentoring and become servant leaders, which helps everyone in the classroom succeed. Parental involvement is encouraged through participation at Bring Up Grades recognition events.
