Important Dates in April
The Character Trait of the Month is Patience. During the month we are sharing examples of how you can increase your patience. We are also encouraging students to submit examples of what patience means to them and how practicing patience helps you be more successful. Submissions are entered into a chance to win a prize.
We also have a Patience Turtle Hunt with teeny, tiny, turtles hidden around the school for students to find and bring to the office for a small treat.
