6th Grade: PBIS Reward Winners!
On Wednesday, March 28th the 6th graders enjoyed their time receiving the reward for most Panther Bucks turned for 3rd Quarter. We had a busy day with a MOXIE presentation in the morning and our reward after lunch. We spent an hour outside shooting hoops, playing football and soccer, and playing other games. They also had a great time just hanging out with friends and showing their artistic skills with sidewalk chalk. This our second time winning this year and we are excited to keep the tickets flooding in so that the whole school can go to Grand Theatre this spring.
