Student quote of the month...
Rather than a text quote, please join us in celebrating the hard work that some of our Lighthouse Team students put into creating and sharing their poem about Martin Luther King Jr. at the MLK March at Knox Middle on Jan. 12. They also shared this poem at the 2nd-3rd grade awards ceremony on that day, and at Family Friday on Jan. 27. We are so proud of them!

Shoutout to Ms. Isaac's Kindergarten class! Back in November, they made Leader in Me bracelets as a way of reinforcing our leadership values. They still talk about these values as a class!
Leader in Me Updates
Kindness Team
Kindness Team launched a schoolwide initiative during the national Great Kindness Challenge Week to promote student kindness. They created an apple tree in the main office, and pin paper "kindness apples" onto the tree from students who give their classmates shout-outs for being kind!
Green Team
Green Team started a schoolwide initiative at our school, "Adopt an Area." They asked each class to pick an area of campus they want to keep clean, and classes that keep that area clean will get a special shoutout in the morning announcements. We love the ownership that students are taking in keeping our campus clean! This photo is Ms. Hedgren's students, proudly showing their adopted area.
