Monday Mission
September 24, 2018:
Student, Staff & Parent Mission: Ask somebody "Has anybody told you you're awesome today?" And if they say no you get to be the first to tell them. Or you could go with something like one of these: "Has anybody told you that you do a great job of following hallway expectations?" "Has anybody told you that you're always prepared for class?" It can even be something you hope they attain: "Has anybody told you that you could be an amazing doctor someday?" or "Has anybody told you that you could be a great reader someday?"

Volunteers Needed!
Throughout the year, it is quite a job getting the Kindergarteners through the lunch line and then out to recess after lunch. If you are willing to give an hour or so one or more days a week to help our littlest Bulldogs it would really help. Thank you for your consideration.
