On Friday, the "Good News Call" went out to Cash Lantz and Easton Erickson. The boys dedicated their entire FLEX recess to playing with a student who needed a friend. They helped the child kick "free soccer kicks" for part of the recess and rebounded the basketball for him while he shot baskets for the rest of the recess. Thank you, Cash and Easton, for modeling the Panther Way Expectation of KINDNESS!
A huge thank you goes out to Janelle Weber and the Weber Cleaning Inc. crew who donated their time and services today to clean all of the elementary bathrooms.
We had a "Good News Call" on Thursday, April 13. The Good News Call went out to Marlee Meyerink! Marlee was caught doing at least 3 random acts of Kindness this past week. She quietly volunteered to move to another kickball team to keep the teams even at recess, she assisted children in the lunchroom with their lunch, and showed kindness through sharing with others. She has been observed throughout the building showing kindness, maturity, and compassion for others. Thank you Marlee for modeling "The Panther Way" for other students.
The second graders went to Geddes this week to meet with the Geddes City Council. They spoke to the members about their park project for this year and were granted permission to complete the project. Stay tuned for more details regarding the new park project.
