Last Friday's Paw Power Winners are Sam and Lily. Students that earn Paw Power Cards during the week are put into a drawing to be our weekly winners. This program is sponsored by Old Town Dairy Queen. Our winners and the teacher who gave the card get an ice cream treat to celebrate. This is part of our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports(PBIS) program to encourage our core values of respect, responsibility, and care.
Here are some reminders of upcoming events.

Pre-K is finishing up their pumpkin unit just in time for Halloween! Through generous donations from our families of pumpkins, students have built their skills in many ways! Using pumpkins we were able to build knowledge around: patterns, sorting, painting, fine motor skills, positional words, sink and float, life cycle, songs, vocabulary, counting and even a pumpkin volcano! Through many laughs and hard work we have enjoyed all the things we were able to do with our pumpkins!!
