Terrific Kids is a student recognition program that promotes character development, self-esteem, and perseverance. Students work with their classroom teacher and establish goals to improve behavior, peer relationships, attendance, or schoolwork. Students then work toward achieving the goal during a specific time period. At the end of the designated time period all students who achieved their goals are recognized as Terrific Kids. The Hillsborough Kiwanis Club supports the Teriffic Kids programs at most of the elementary schools in the Orange County School District.
