Weekly Character Challenge
Each week, New Providence highlights student leaders who are demonstrating good character skills such as using the quiet signal, showing Roary's expectations, and/or exemplifying kindness. As a student shows one of these skills, they are presented with a ticket. That ticket is put into a box and names are drawn at the end of each week.
Congratulations to our drawing winners from the week of 2/19:
Knox P. - Burwick
Jackson B. - LaMarche
Aiden A. - King
Julie B.- Stefopoulos
Kinsley F. - Prioreschi
Kendall B. - Long
