Tiger Pride Continues
As the school year winds down, we continue to focus on our TIGER PRIDE at Oak Crest. Pride in ourselves, each other, and our school. We want others to be proud of us, we want our actions and words to represent our best version of our selves, and we want to gain confidence and pride in who we are each day. We want to finish the year strong, and reflect on it with pride.
This week, we had a ton of field trips and special events and I heard more compliments about our students behavior, attitudes, and respect from teachers, parent chaperones, staff at the various events, and even from teachers from other schools in the same location. This makes me proud and hopefully brings pride to the families of our students as well.
Have a great weekend.
Be You, Be RED!
