The students at Truman Elementary School enjoyed the musical program of Glenn Colton on Friday, September 16. The students enjoyed the program while being bucket fillers. Bucket filler is used to refer to a person’s positive attitude and behavior. It relies on the analogy that every person carries with them an invisible bucket. 

Examples of Bucket Filling Behavior include being kind to everyone you meet, paying someone a compliment, showing someone you care for them, helping those who are struggling. Our Steeler Standards: be respectful, responsible, safe, and kind. 

Bucket dipping is the opposite of bucket filling. It refers to actions or behavior that has a negative effect on those around us. Examples of Bucket Dipping Behavior include things like making fun of someone, saying unkind things, refusing to help someone else, bullying someone, being disrespectful, being irresponsible, being unsafe, and being unkind. 

At Truman Elementary School, we plan to recognize our Bucket Fillers throughout the school year with various celebrations.
