No School Monday!
Principal's Message
Dear Schnell Families,
I am excited to share with you a new and positive school incentive that we are introducing at Schnell! As part of our continued efforts to recognize and celebrate our students' hard work, we will be hosting a **Bobcat Bazaar** once a month, where students will have the opportunity to redeem **Bobcat Bucks** earned through demonstrating positive behavior and excellent effort in school.
Students will receive Bobcat Bucks from any of our staff members as a way to acknowledge their kindness, responsibility, effort, or any other positive actions that contribute to making our school a great place to learn. Once they have earned Bobcat Bucks, students will have the chance to "spend" their earned bucks at the Bobcat Bazaar, where they can choose from a variety of fun treats and prizes, including:
- Popcorn
- Hot Chocolate
- Otter Pops
- And other exciting prizes!
We want this to be a fun, rewarding, and motivating event for our students, but in order to make the Bobcat Bazaar a successful monthly event, we need your support. There are many ways you can help, and we would greatly appreciate any contributions you can make, whether through donations, volunteering with setup and organization.
To sign up and get involved, please click the link below. Your support is what will make this event a success, and we are grateful for any assistance you can provide.

Thank you so much for your continued support and partnership in making Schnell School a positive and enriching environment for all of our students. We are excited to see the positive impact this new incentive will have on our Bobcats!
Warm regards,
John A. Baker, MS. Ed.
Principal
