Ride the Wave of Character!
Building Character, One Wave at a Time
at the Beach Haven School
Embedded Files
At the Beach Haven School, we believe strong character makes strong students. Our Ride the Wave of Character program celebrates kindness, responsibility, honesty, respect and so much more.
Character is taught through what we teach, how we teach, and how we respond to students every day. When instruction, language, and recognition align, character becomes part of the classroom culture—not just a lesson.
Our students earn SURF Tickets when they show positive behavior and make great choices — just like real surfers who stay balanced on the waves!
Each month at the Beach Haven School, we focus on a special character trait to help us ride the waves of life.
Through guidance counselor–led classroom lessons, meaningful read-alouds, and SURF Ticket recognition, we celebrate and reinforce these positive traits in our students when they are recognized.
Students can earn SURF Tickets for showing great character throughout the school day. Some examples of when teachers and staff would give out tickets are when they see students:
Showing Kindness to others 🌞
Taking Responsibility for their actions 🌊
Demonstrating Respect 🐚
Displaying Fairness and Honesty 🏄
SURF Tickets are entered into monthly raffles for prizes or special privileges!
To recognize and celebrate our outstanding students who embody the values of our "Ride the Wave of Character" program, each month we proudly spotlight those students who are truly excelling in demonstrating positive character traits. As a special reward for their exemplary behavior and character, the chosen student will have the unique and exciting opportunity to step into the role of principal for the day, experiencing firsthand the responsibilities and privileges of school leadership.
Furthermore, the honored student will also receive the distinct privilege of displaying the prestigious Golden Surfboard in their classroom throughout the entire month, serving as a visual reminder of their achievement and an inspiration to their peers.
🌊 SURF Tickets are counted and tallied each month as we work toward a school-wide goal displayed on our giant thermometer in the cafeteria!
Students can visually track their achievements and celebrate the power of teamwork as the thermometer rises higher each month.
We’re all working collectively toward one goal — to fill our thermometer and show that strong character makes a strong school!
