Great job to the Sundog Math Team as they competed in the District Math Derby on Saturday at Cottonwood Creek Elementary. Mrs. Miller had the Sundog Mathematicians rocking and rolling! Hazel Adams took home first place for all fifth grade and Alan Nashold took home third place for all fourth grade in the individual awards. The fifth grade team of Hazel Adams, Siri Strabel, Jonah Norris, and Ethan Ninh took home second place in the fifth grade team competition. Shaw secured second place for the overall school competition! Way to go Sundogs!

The virtue of the week this week is Kindness.

We focus on one virtue each week and emphasize that virtue throughout the week. Students will earn Sundog Tickets when they exhibit the week's virtue. Feel free to discuss this virtue with your child at home and find ways to acknowledge when s/he exhibits the virtue.
