All eyes were on the Team North teachers as they cheered on bucket-filling behaviors.

About 500 children and adults filled the North Creek Elementary School cafeteria Monday afternoon for a school-wide assembly that unveiled the school’s new theme, cheer and bucket-filling behaviors.

After the about 485 children were seated and teacher Eric Robinson began playing the guitar, a hush took over the room as this year’s “Team North” leaders took center stage.

Kristen Joyce, a social psychologist, told the children in grades kindergarten through second grade that they would be bucket fillers if they respected each other, took responsibility for each other and helped to keep the school safe for all students.

All members of Team North are expected to work together as a team to make North a better place for everyone, and they learned a new cheer that will be said each morning: “0-2-4-6-8. We are working to be great.”

And, when friends pass each other in the hall, there’s also a new sign of recognition — a thumb’s up, because bucket-fillers are quiet in the hallway.

They make good choices.

They stay in line.

They keep their hands and their feet to themselves.

At North Creek Elementary, everyone works together as a team.

Just ask Coach Buckets.
