Randi Oberbroekling, Lydia Dyk, McKenzie DeHaan, and Lizzy Groon (not pictured) were nominated for the Good News Call for giving up a portion of their recess to assist Mrs. Knecht. Earlier this week, we didn't have table washers to assist in the lunchroom. These four girls noticed on their own that no one was staying to assist. They quickly and graciously volunteered to help wash the tables. What makes this Good News Call special is that the girls noticed, without being told, that a staff member needed assistance and they offered to do so. Thank you, ladies, for noticing something that needed to be done, and for offering on your own to assist. Your kindness and thoughtfulness to others IS noticed and appreciated. Thank you for being such AWESOME kiddos!
On Friday, February 12 we had a few Good News Calls for our students to make.....
Nikki VanderWerff was nominated for the Good News Call by Mrs. Gloria Kok. Mrs. Kok has noticed Nikki showing extreme kindness and friendliness to others. She has observed Nikki in countless situations assisting others, playing with those who are alone, and quietly seeking out others who need a friend and spending time with them. Our "Word of the Week "this week at school was "Friendliness" and Nikki is a wonderful example of that word. Thank you, Nikki, for your kindness to others and for being such a great kid!
