🎉 We want to recognize one of our outstanding Kindergarten students for exemplifying our PBIS PAWS principles! 🐾
This student has truly shown what it means to Perform Your Best, Be Accountable, Make Wise Choices, and Show Respect. Although Walton didn’t attend preschool with his classmates, he has gone above and beyond in making a new friend feel welcome and included. Every day, he greets his friend with a smile, invites him to play, and shows incredible kindness and understanding.
To celebrate his efforts to create an inclusive and caring classroom community, he received a gift card generously donated by Grand Central! 🌟
We’re proud of you, Walton! Keep up the great work! #ItsAGreatDayToBeABulldog #KindnessMatters #PBIS
This week, Carter went above and beyond to help a fellow student out. Thank you Carter for embracing the Bulldog Beliefs. Thank you Grand Central for helping us reward our students and their positive behaviors!
