Weekly Highlights
- The P.S. 107 Rocket Store Opened Friday, March 28th. The first group of classes shopped at the rocket store and were thrilled to see some of the items for sale. Students shopped and practiced math skills. Ms. Hamm had the pleasure to overhear a student say "I have 4 Rocket buck at home and 1 in my pocket, that makes 5!" Please continue to support PBIS by giving students Rocket Bucks for wearing uniform, completing HW assignments and Being SAFE, RESPONSIBLE, and RESPECTFUL throughout our building.
- Thank you to all the teachers in grades K, 1, & 2 classrooms that created amazing banners and cards for our testing grades! Those tokens of good luck have made students in grades 3-5 very happy.
