At our monthly character assemblies, we always include a fun game and our students who were recognized for demonstrating the character trait of the month are invited to play. This month, we played human Hungry, Hungry Hippos. We're so lucky to work with students who like to have fun and staff members who like to have fun with them. Just look at those smiles! It was a great way to end the week!










COURAGE was our character trait of the month for April. These students were recognized at our Friday assembly for doing an outstanding job demonstrating courage! ❤️💚
