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 3/18:
Oliver V. - Rider
Krisha P. - Kubinak
Reed K. - Martin
Harper B. - Duckett
JoJo B. - Frye
Charlotte H. - Long
