They have shown empathy, perseverance, kindness, and compassion, by not only helping themselves, but their classmates too! We are all feeling in the YELLOW and so PROUD of you!

Kindergarten: Serenity J., Griffey F., and Brady M.
1st Grade: Ivan S., Mia E., and Chloe B.
2nd Grade: Lyla P., Liam P., and Calvin H.
