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 May 13th:
Riley W. - Smith
Shelby H. - Scoma
Julie B. - Stefopoulos
Parker L. - Alexander
Sophia H. - Allen
Ariel F. - Allen
