Week of February 19th

February 18^th-22^nd,

Thanks so much for all of the wonderful Valentine gifts. They were very thoughtful but the best gifts are your kiddos~

We use these words to be great citizens:

GREAT

You may start seeing letters in the agenda from the GREAT acronym above. If you see a G from Great is means your child demonstrated growth today, R is demonstrating respect, E is demonstrating empathy, A is demonstrating accountability, and T is demonstrating trustworthiness.

This week is RESPECT……..
