Leadership
Our second Leadership Council promoted classroom leadership and created a "How We MRI as Microwave Pros". They also led our can food drive where we collected over 3,500 cans.
SOAR Spirit is collecting water bottles this week to donate to Melissa Community Outreach which will be used for roadside relief for the homeless. They also are collecting winter coats to donate to those in need in our area. The coat drive will end Jan. 13th.

PTSO Happenings
Thank you to all of our families who supported our Spirit night at Palio's Pizza. We raised $135 that goes back to our kids.
We have set a school goal for our students and staff to attend school 98% of the year. This month's winner was Mrs. Lorenson's homeroom with only 0 absences. Mrs. Hood and Ms. Cowart were our winners of teacher's perfect attendance.
