Liam is our "caught card" winner for this week. Liam was caught being awesome by Mrs. Winkle. Liam jumped right in to help when a friend's yo-yo fell apart. The classmate was getting very frustrated and Liam was able to fix the yo-yo and help his friend calm down. Liam won a free blizzard from Dairy Queen. We would like to give a shout-out to Dairy Queen for donating several different gift cards to the school for our "caught card" initiative. Thanks so much for helping us celebrate our students! Thanks for being awesome, Liam! We are proud of you!

We would like to give a big shout out to Towne Square Cinema for their willingness to invest in our students. Willard regularly takes groups to the cinema for incentives and class trips. They are always very accommodating and work hard to create great experiences for our students! Enjoy your movie, Andrew! Thanks for being awesome!
