STUDENT OF THE WEEK

is Ashtyn B. Ashtyn always walks into the classroom everyday with a smile on her face and says, "Good Morning! How are you today?!" She is well mannered and polite and tries her best with everything she does. Ashtyn is a student who will do whatever she can to better herself while helping others as well. She stays on task and asks questions when needed. Ashtyn definitely deserves to be Student of the Week! Ashtyn is nominated by Mrs. Lanigan.

NOTICE

Students, at the end of the day, there is a lot of chaotic behavior that needs to be stopped.  When you are heading to your locker, leaving for the bus or parent pickup, it is expected that you walk, are patient & polite to those around you.  It is important that we leave school in an orderly fashion in order to prevent student injury, damage to student property or simply hurt feelings.
