Mesa Community Rattler Roundup

Last week, we held our very first "S" Day to celebrate the students that we teach and how fun learning can be. We shared our learning with our students about them being CHAMPs.

Commitment

Honesty

Accountability

Motivation

This week, I have two challenges for you!

Challenge #1: I challenge you to celebrate your student's growth from the beginning of the year until now.

Challenge #2: I challenge you to commit to your student coming to school every day, on time, all day.

With immense gratitude,
Mrs. Draughon
