Proud Puma Character Education

This year our character education program will tie in with our school-wide behavior program (PBS) on respect. Each month we will focus on a different character trait in the building and in classroom lessons. Ask your child about this month's character trait! All adults in the building have "proud puma" slips which can be handed out anytime they see a child following the rules and showing respect. On Wednesdays two students from each grade level will be recognized on the morning announcements.
