Weekly Character Challenge
Each week, New Providence highlights student leaders who are demonstrating good character skills such as using the quiet signal, showing Roary's expectations, and/or exemplifying kindness. As a student shows one of these skills, they are presented with a ticket. That ticket is put into a box and names are drawn at the end of each week.
Congratulations to our drawing winners from the week of 2/27:
Newt W. - 4th Frye
Jase L. 3rd - DuRant
Kyson M. - 3rd Adams
Thomas L. - 1st Stuber
Burke M. - 2nd Blewett
Lake L. - 2nd Wingfield
