1/2 Day Kindergarten Friendship Feast
1/2 Day Kindergarten Friendship Feast
Our 1/2 day kiddos celebrated a "Friendship Feast" on Tuesday, November 23. Enjoy the photos of their celebration.
Mr. Bailey nominated Manny VanZee and Hayden Strand for the "Good News Call" for their act of kindness and their fine example of "Do the Right Thing" at the State Volleyball Tournament. Manny and Hayden found a billfold, which had several hundred dollars in it. The boys didn't even look at the cash; they found the name of the owner and realized that the man was from Chester. They found a coach from Chester, gave it to him, and asked that it be given to the rightful owner.
Thank you, Manny and Hayden, for your fine example of GREAT character. Thank you for the honesty and kindness shown to a stranger. Thank you for representing our school and our communities in such a fine manner! You are truly an example of FINE CHARACTER! Keep up the great work!
Congratulations to the Black Panther Volleyball team on their 3rd place finish at the state B tournament!
There will be a welcome home celebration for the team on Sunday at 6pm in the elementary gym. Everyone welcome!
The “Good News Call” for this week goes out to Trey Mushitz. Trey noticed a parent in the hallway this morning looking for her child. He immediately went to her and took the items she had brought in. He happily assisted the parent and gave the items to the child they belonged to. The parent was so impressed with his helpfulness that she reached out to me to report the event. Thanks for being an AWESOME and HELPFUL kiddo, Trey! Thank you for being kind and helpful to our guests. We appreciate your daily smile and your thoughtfulness in helping others.
