Every day in elementary announcements, we choose a character trait and talk about what it means to demonstrate that trait. This week, we talked about being courteous, dependable, grateful, honest and organized. Not only are we working on expanding our vocabulary, but also becoming better people! You can talk with your Wildcat about what these traits mean to you!
A big THANK YOU to these outstanding role models! They volunteer time out of their extremely busy schedules to tutor middle school and elementary students.
