1. Reminder the Scholastic book orders are due by Jan.22
2. We started our King & Queen incentive program. The program will focus on rewarding students for individual positive acts. When a student is seen doing something positive (helping someone; following rules;etc.) they will receive a positive role model slip. At the end of the week the slips will be turned and a drawing will take place each Monday for each grade level. The winners will have their names announced during the morning announcements and receive a reward. For more info be sure to ask your child.
