We are super excited that we got to celebrate our Indians of the Month yesterday! Congratulations to these students! These students serve as positive role models for their classmates and help create a caring and respectful school community. For October our focus word was “Lead" Teachers looked for students who demonstrated leadership by stepping up without being asked, making responsible choices, and taking action to help themselves and others succeed—even when faced with challenges.
We’re proud of our students who rise to the challenge each month and model what it means to live out our PBIS expectations.
