Arctic Award Winners!
Congratulations to the following students for being nominated for our first ever Arctic Award recipients for the first semester! These students were nominated by an adult in our building for their outstanding efforts with our CHILL Keys for our first semester of learning. This award will be given out quarterly moving forward! Along with a certificate of achievement, winning students will also receive a yard sign for our families to proudly display announcing this outstanding accomplishment! We do ask however that a family member of our winning students come to the school in order to pick up this yard sign as there are stakes that accompany the signs in order for them to stick in your yard. You may pop-in any time during school hours to pick up your student’s sign! Thank you and please let us know if you have any questions about this process!
