Student of the Month

It’s that time again to submit your name/reason for your student of the month.  For our new teachers, we celebrate by sending home a letter from Ms. Stewart inviting parents to bring a special lunch on a specific date to celebrate their student’s accomplishment.  Typically, it’s the first Tuesday of the month and held in the gym.  Please provide a few names and the reasons they are being recognized to Barb by Thursday, 9/25, 8:00 AM so the letter can go home that same day.  Pictures are taken of the student soon after and displayed in the foyer. Certificates placed in your box to sign. On the day of the luncheon, guests eat in the gym with their student.  Students are presented a certificate and a pencil.  Teachers are encouraged to stop in for a few minutes. Leadership helps us with gathering students and signing in our guests.
