Kiwanis BUG program

Bring Up Grades, or BUG, is a program designed to provide recognition to students who raise their grades from one grading period to the next. The purpose of the BUG program is to encourage students by recognizing their efforts to improve their grades. Recognition includes being placed on the schools’ BUG honor roll and a presentation of a certificate and an award gift package.

The Alamogordo Kiwanis Club helps support the BUG programs at Imago Dei Academy, Legacy Christian Academy and St. Frances Cabrini elementary schools. The teacher establishes a baseline grade for each student during the first grading period. Students are honored each grading period thereafter. This encourages students to put real effort into improving their grades. It doesn’t matter where they are starting from, Kiwanis wants to encourage them to do their best from here onward.
