Lizzy Groon was nominated for the Good News Call for giving up a portion of her recess to assist Mrs. Knecht. She was nominated along with Randi Oberbroekling, Lydia Dyk, & McKenzie DeHaan for assisting in the lunchroom, however she was gone when we made the calls; so today, Lizzy made her call. These four girls noticed on their own that no one was staying to assist. They quickly and graciously volunteered to help wash the tables. What makes this Good News Call special is that the girls noticed, without being told, that a staff member needed assistance and they offered to do so. Thank you, ladies, for noticing something that needed to be done, and for offering on your own to assist. Your kindness and thoughtfulness to others IS noticed and appreciated. Thank you for being such AWESOME kiddos!

Earlier this week, we didn't have table washers to assist in the lunchroom. These four girls noticed on their own that no one was staying to assist. They quickly and graciously volunteered to help wash the tables. What makes this Good News Call special is that the girls noticed, without being told, that a staff member needed assistance and they offered to do so.
