APRIL CHARACTER TRAITS
Students are learning about
OBEDIENCE AND HUMILITY
this month.
We have encouraged them to watch their friends and nominate someone that they feel exhibits these traits. We will be honoring one K3-K5 student, one 1st-3rd grade, and one 4th-6th grade student each month that exhibits these traits well! We can't wait to see how our students go above and beyond to reach these character goals.
Congrats to our March Students of the Month
Culver Sims, K3-K5 Winner
Tanner Holston, 4th-6th Grade Winner
Brooklyn Pigott, 1st-3rd Grade Winner
