STAFF/STUDENT OF THE MONTH DONATIONS
Principal Martinez is planning to recognize a student from each grade level each month, who has been nominated by staff for outstanding achievement in the classroom, building, or community. Recommendations can be for academics, behavior, athletics, community service, or any other activity the student went above and beyond. He will also recognize 1 staff member each month.
We are looking for donations of $5 gift cards from Dairy Queen for the student winners and $10 Starbucks gift cards for the staff winners. Our plan is to have these items donated by September 27th so Mr. Martinez has them available to give to the Staff and Students of the Month through the rest of the year.
Please CLICK HERE if you'd like to donate gift cards and drop them off in the office no later than Friday, September 27th. Placing them in an envelope labeled "Staff/Student of the Month" would be incredibly helpful.
Thank you for your generosity!
