Announcements - Wednesday December 11, 2019




Student of the week is Nolan B.
Nolan's willingness to step up and assist without even being asked makes him a strong leader and a standout on the 6th grade RV Team. He is a participant in All Mules Matter, a class tech team member, and is always on the lookout for opportunities to assist when guest teachers are in the room. Nolan's teamwork helps make the dreamwork! Thank you, Nolan.
