After winter break, PTO distributed nomination forms to every teacher from kindergarten to fifth grade. Those nominations were turned in last week and reviewed at the PTO Board Meeting on Wednesday where one student from each grade level was selected to receive the award.

In partner with Total Orthodontics, the children were recognized this morning during morning announcements and called to the office to receive their award and have their picture taken. In addition, Total Orthodontics presented each child with a $25 gift card to Target for their achievement in the classroom.

We look forward to our partnership with Total Orthodontics to provide Character Awards to our students twice a year, with the next awards being given in April or May following a new round of teacher nominations.

We congratulate the following students:

Fifth Grade, Emma Poole: “Emma is a very compassionate student. Often I find her taking time out of her recess or personal time to check on her peers when they are having a rough day. No matter how difficult a situation is, she is a ray of sunshine to those around her. Our world needs more people like Emma!”
