FROM THE COUNSELOR'S CORNER
Hello Jerry Ross Families,
Congratulations to Ms. Klavas’ class for earning their 30th Star for their SPACE Shield. They won our last bi-weekly raffle drawing and chose to play board games with me in the Science Lab as their positive behavior reward. Playing board games with all of these thoughtful, funny, and polite students was the absolute highlight of my week on Wednesday! I am looking forward to seeing which classes will earn 15 Stars or more next for their SPACE Shields.
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a great winter break!
Mrs. Pape, PBIS Coach
