The Lion Ledger

• 13 - World Kindness Day
• 13 - 17 Carolina vs. Clemson Quarter by Quarter RFL Fundraiser
• 22-24 Thanksgiving Break
• 29 - Early Release/Collaborative Planning Day

On November 10th, we hosted our Veterans Day Breakfast and Parade. It was a wonderful day honoring all those that serve, and have served, our country. Our Lion Family thanks you, Veterans!

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 10/30:

• Fiona Sullivan (Rider 5K)
• Garrett K. (Scoma -1)
• Henry D. (Stuber -1)
• Hudson D. (Booth- 3)
• Lucas G. (Adams - 3)
• Olivia P. - (Coker 4)
