We have a GNC this week going out to Miley Larson. On the recess playground, Miley went out of her way to assist Mrs. Knecht with a student who was running away instead of lining up. She encouraged him to line up, in a kind manner & even offered to race him & it worked.
Our GNC goes to Holdyn Gallagher. Holdyn has been assisting the cooks in the lunchroom, specifically Cindi with carrying the silverware tub. He has taken it upon himself to have the job of silverware tub carrier. Holdyn, your help meant more than you could possibly know to Cindi.
