Our RJR Top Dawg Students of the Month can look forward to not only receiving an award and being placed in our Top Dawg Wall of Fame at the campus, but they will also receive a Mr. Gatti's Pizza Loaded Arcade GameCard and Free Pizza & Mojo's Kids Cup Coupon!

Our Bulldogs got to enjoy a Perfect Attendance Party celebration with donuts and high-fives this Monday to kick off our new six-weeks! Thanks to all of our Bulldogs helping us meet or exceed our Attendance Goals of 98% or better!

"When you're at school, you grow! The more you grow, the more you'll know...the more you know...the more places you'll go!"

Awards given :

• A Honor Roll
• A & B Honor Roll
• Perfect Attendance
• Outstanding Attendance (1 or less absences / checkout earlies)

Here are just a few pics from behind the scenes below:

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 below. Your child will be earning "PAWsome" SPH tickets for prizes to be drawn at the end of this 6weeks!

Prizes for this SixWeeks include:

• Nintendo Switch Light Console
• Stanley Water Bottles (Burnet Green colors)
• Apple Ear Airbuds
• Jordan Backpack
• Beats headphones

We've already caught our Bulldogs with character and that SPH pride!

To help set students up for success and to focus on the learning to do, please leave candy, energy drinks, or softdrinks at home so they don't get in the way.

Snack time is to help refuel our Bulldog's bodies and minds

but sugary snacks and drinks can cause a mess and set learning behind.

Please help your student and teacher out by only sending water / water bottles for snack time and leave the candy and energy drinks at home.
