February Give a HOOT Winners

We enjoyed another fun lunch/recess with the principals for our February HOOT winners. All of these students displayed one of our behavioral expectations. We look forward to reading in our kindergarten winners' classrooms!

Hooray for good choices

Our job is learning

Only kindness

Take time to do our best

These students gave a HOOT and we do too!
