Sweet Khloe DeGroot made a "Good News Call" this week for assisting one of our young students. Khloe noticed that one of our ½ Kindergarten students was feeling nervous about coming to school in his Halloween costume. She walked over to him and encouraged him to enter the playground with her. His Mom nominated Khloe for the "Good News Call" for the kindness she showed him in helping him have the courage to walk into school all dressed up for Halloween. Khloe, we appreciate the kindness you show to others, and we appreciate that you noticed someone who needed help and you helped him. We truly have the BEST kiddos! ❤️

The students in both Shop 1 and 2 have been working on their welding skills out at Trail-Eze Manufacturing. I would like to thank Trail-Eze for their partnership with the school, and for providing this fantastic opportunity and training for our students. The students have worked on welding butt joints, lap joints and tee joints. They have also learned the fine art of doing a triple weld. The students have been performing so well that Trail-Eze had them weld a storage rack for steel plate materials. Their weld beads are very good. This is what they are doing in the photos. Welding is something the students enjoy very much. -Mr. Daum

Jace Bogenhagen was nominated for the "Good News Call" this week for being a good friend to others. Jace helped a classmate who had spilled his milk (and it was even the classmate's birthday). Jace was observed to be down on the floor with napkins wiping up the chocolate milk for his friend. Thank you, Jace, for thinking of your friend and helping him clean up the spilled milk. Thank you for modeling the Panther Way expectation of KINDNESS!
