Student of the Month Assemblies

Student of the Month Assembly  Every month there is a Student of the Month Assembly. At these assemblies recognition is given to students for the special character trait of the month, Super Surfers handed in by students, and Remarkable Readers .

Super Surfers Super Surfers are notes given to students by staff and adults at the school for various accomplishments. When your child saves up 10 of these please - *Staple them together and write their first and last name and room number on the top one. *have your child hand them in to me. They will be called at the next assembly to receive an award and prize for every 10 they have turned in. Please note that if turned in close to the assembly date then they may have to wait for the next assembly for their award. ***You can save these until the following year**** Pogs I also use pogs in the classroom to reward students. Once a month they are allowed to 'buy' items from our auction.  Please donate any leftover party items or toys that your child(or you) may not want.
