Purple Ambassadors

The Purple Ambassadors is a 4^th grade Honor Society. The ambassadors consist of students maintaining high academic excellence in all areas. This group of students exhibit their academic skills, good character & willingness to serve others within our community.

The purpose of the Purple Ambassadors is to produce lifelong community members. The experience of being a Purple Ambassador should motivate the students to want to do more for others.  Purple Ambassadors are a symbol of honor in our school.  Several Purple Ambassadors have wanted to be a part of the honor society since 2^nd Grade. This is a launching pad for a well rounded student who wants to achieve greatness.

In order to be a Purple Ambassador, you must maintain all A’s including conduct each nine week period.  Also, office or bus referrals are not allowed to remain a Purple Ambassador.

The Purple Ambassadors have a meaningful role at Tallassee Elementary School.  They are hall monitors, lunchroom helpers, peer tutors, office helpers, morning announcers & new student orientation.

Although Purple Ambassadors are leaders in academic excellence, we strive for greatness in all areas.  The Purple Ambassadors are required to complete 4 hours of volunteer service. Upon completion, they must get a letter from the organization/person they provided the volunteer hours.  The students must complete 4 hours, but they are welcome to do more.  The volunteer service allows students to experience fulfillment in giving back to the community.
