Stand Out Program
Dear School Staff Member,
Stand For The Silent is launching a new program to recognize positive behavior. The SFTS Stand Out Program will award one student per week during the spring and fall semesters with a Stand For The Silent T-shirt and a $50 gift card. At the end of each semester, one student will be selected from the weekly pool of winners to receive an additional $100 gift card. The gift cards will be mailed to the school for presentation to the student.
Instructions and Rules
Please read all the information below before completing the Stand Out Nomination form. If you are a certified staff member of a public or private K-12 school in the United States, you may complete the Stand Out Nomination form for yourself. Each certified teacher must complete their own nomination forms; third-party nominations will not be accepted. If you are not a certified staff member, you will not be able to complete the form.
Certified staff may only nominate an individual student once per semester. Once nominated, a student remains eligible to win for the remaining weeks of that semester. Nominations will be accepted from August 1 to December 1 for the fall semester and from January 1 to April 1 for the spring semester.
Nominees should demonstrate positive role modeling, strong leadership skills, and exhibit kindness, respect, and integrity in their actions and words. They should also have shown initiative in actively working to end bullying at their school.
The nominator will need to provide the following information:
- Nominator’s name
- Nominator’s school email address
- School’s name
- School’s address
- Principal’s name
- Principal’s school email address
- Student’s name
- Student’s grade level
- Student’s T-shirt size
- A statement of 250 words or less explaining why the student is being nominated
Once a nominee has been selected, both the nominator and the school principal will be contacted via their school email addresses. The SFTS Stand Out email will provide further instructions and a Media Release Form. We encourage your school to recognize the student by presenting the SFTS prize pack during a class or a special assembly. Please share photos of the presentation by replying to the SFTS Stand Out email address.
By completing this application form, you agree to the SFTS Stand Out Program’s Official Rules. All decisions made by the SFTS Stand Out selection committee are final.
