2nd Six-Weeks Awards
Celebrating Bulldog Achievements and Accomplishments
We are so proud of how hard our Bulldogs are working in class to continue to improve both academically and behaviorally!
We LOVE getting to see the 7 Habits of "Putting First Things First" with our school work and "Being Proactive" with responsible behaviors as priorities for our Bulldogs! Keep up the GREAT work!
Here are just a few of our award photos from class celebrations & awards!
Honoring our October Top Dawg Students of the Month
These students consistently demonstrated the 7 Habits, had excellent attendance, and had great academic performance this past month and were honored by their teachers as Students of the Month and Top Dawgs of their classes!
They were treated to Starbucks Cake-Pops, Mojo's Kid Cups, and Gatti's Pizza and Game cards for modeling the Spirit, Pride, and Honor that it takes to be an RJ Richey Top Dawg!
Congratulations Top Dawgs for October!
RJR Core Value Prizes
As a reminder, be sure to check out the parent letter about our RJ Core Values and what Spirit, Pride, and Honor looks like in action with our Matrix that includes attendance and the 7 Habits in Leader in Me. You can help encourage your student and talk to them about the Core Values at home as well.
Each Six-Weeks, students have the option to earn more and more tickets for prizes of their choice!
We are looking forward to celebrating many more GREAT RJ successes with our next Six Weeks drawings at the end of this semester that include:
Next Prizes for next Six Weeks include:
- Apple iPad
- Stanley Water Bottles (Blue & Gray)
- Air Jordan Gear (Socks, Hat)
- Jordan Lunch Kit
- Lululemon Backpack & Bag
Did You Know? Attendance Matters and has much more of an impact than just make-up work?
RJ's attendance dipped below 94% this past week! We want to get up well above 95% and keep reaching for 98%!
Let's keep it up Bulldogs and get to that GREAT feeling of 98!!!
We have our next Perfect Attendance Party for our Upcoming Six-Weeks scheduled on November 17th!
