The "Good News Call" today is going out to Noah Pokorny. Noah received the Good News Call for being a responsible learner, listening to his teachers, taking care of his personal items and for doing great on his schoolwork. Noah always has his work done for class and he asks his teachers for help when needed.
Noah comes to school with a positive attitude and a smile on his face. Thanks, Noah, for modeling the Panther Way Expectation of responsibility.
Maverick Maydew was nominated for the "Good News Call" by a fellow classmate and a parent. The nomination stated that Maverick is a "kind and thoughtful friend to others". Maverick notices small and large "KIND acts" that he can do for others, and he quietly does them. He is just overall a great friend to those around him. He is thoughtful, considerate, responsible, and caring. He looks for ways in his school day to serve those around him and offers to help everyone. Thank you, Maverick, for being a great friend!
