#3 In Case You Missed It
Kindergarten says "Thank You"
We would like to thank Mr. Laney Ross, Realtor for sponsoring our Kindergarten Field Trip T-Shirts. Each student received a t-shirt free that he/she will be able to wear when our classes go on field trips or we have special activities here at school. We are grateful for his continued support and generous contribution to our students.
Buddy Bench
Cade and Cole have big hearts and kindness on their minds. They came up with an idea to bring a Buddy Bench to school. Through their lemonade stand, they were able to raise money toward the purchase of this bench. The boys selected a special spot on the playground for the bench. The bench embodies everything we are trying to teach our students - not just academics, but developing the whole child. The buddy bench will be in place to teach our students about empathy and inclusion.
September STAR Students
Check out our preschool to 4th grade students who displayed our Character Counts pillars throughout the month of September.
