Mustang Monthly Round Up
October 2024
Recognizing Positive Behavior
We have so many students who choose to do the right thing every day and we would like to reward these students for excellent behavior. Each month, we will have a special activity for students who have not had an office referral or repeated misbehavior (more than once) within their classroom for that month. This month, students with the expected appropriate behavior will be rewarded a bubble party outside when the bubbles arrive. Thank you PTO for funding the positive behavior incentive parties!
