♥️ Choose Kindness ♥️

We have the KINDEST students!

Kaleb Nielsen (1st grade) Kaleb is always willing to help friends find the correct page in their books.

Sage Prows (kindergarten) Sage is super kind by knowing how to problem solve, being patient, and sharing toys!

Nora Luitjens (4th grade) Nora kindly helps other students with their county reports.

Andrew Boncada (4th grade) Andrew kindly organized my fluency folders without me asking.

Lucy Fankhauser (kindergarten) Lucy is such a kind friend. She always makes sure everyone on the carpet gets a high five during our Morning Meeting! Way to go!

Attendance: At our school, we know that attendance matters. Being at school every day helps students build strong learning habits, stay connected with their classmates, and reach their full potential. We appreciate your partnership in making daily attendance a priority for your child.
