This Friday is our first VIP Breakfast and we are starting the year off by honoring the students who are Responsible. Each day staff passes out Gotchas to students who are being Respectful, Responsible, Safe and Kind. The students put their names on the Gotchas and turn them into the Gotcha Box where every Friday we have a drawing and five lucky winners get to spin the Prize Wheel in the Welcome Center. Our prize closet is getting low and we could really use your help. If you want to help us fill up our prize closet, please follow the link above or go to our linktree on Instagram to find all the Amazon Wishlists for the school. We have the BEST families in the district and we are so thankful for you!
