'Prepared, Engaged & Responsible Citizens'
This morning, our elementary students came together for a PBIS assembly where we reviewed our school rules (Be Kind, Be Safe, Be Ready, and Be a Learner). Students also learned how they can earn exciting prizes while focusing on this month’s theme: Responsibility. To wrap up the assembly, our office staff selected two Cat Star students to compete in a fun Minute-to-Win-It challenge. Congratulations to Mrs. Cook and her Cat Star kids!
