Mrs. Hinnen and Mr. Hensley’s class chose Joey as our Outstanding Oiler of Responsibility and we couldn’t agree more. Joey comes to school ready and prepared for the day no matter what it brings. She always has a smile on her face and put smiles on her friends face as well. We are so in our fifth grade class and cannot wait for her to shine this year. Keep up the good work, Joey.
Mrs. Keys chose Aiden as our classes Outstanding Oiler of Respect, because that is the definition of Aiden. He is always on task, uses please and thank you without reminders, utilizes his learner skills, and does his best to have model behavior every day. Aiden keeps his body in his own bubble and uses his words to talk through things that bother him. He is an excellent example to follow.
During October, our students will be participating in Anti-Bullying activities focused on Being a Buddy, Not a Bully!
