Announcements- Thursday, December 13, 2018

STUDENT OF THE WEEK
Student of the week for the week of 12/10 is Lillian B.. She was nominated by Mrs. Vogel and here's what she had to say...Lilly has a heart of gold. She is quick to assess other's emotional needs and give a hug for support. Her gentle nature and critical thinking skills make her an invaluable table mate and elbow partner to her classmates. Her contributions during our discussions ignite everyone's thinking. We're so happy to have her on our team this year!
