⛸️🎉 Did you miss it? Our students had a *skating good time* at the Paper Plate Ice Skating Behavior Party! Students who showed excellent behavior during November and December earned this fun celebration, complete with paper plate “ice skating” and a tasty snack at the end. 🧃🍪

👏⭐ Celebrating positive behavior helps motivate students, build confidence, and create a positive school community. We are so proud of our students for making great choices every day—way to skate into success! ⛸️🏆
