🎉📚 Congratulations to our January Attendance Winners! 📚🎉 We are so proud of our students who made attendance a priority in January! Each month, students who have 90% or better attendance are entered into a drawing, and our winners are randomly selected from that group to receive a special token to our Book Vending Machine! There is nothing better than watching students “shop” for a brand-new book of their choice. 📖✨ Showing up matters, and these students are proving it! Way to go, January winners — we are proud of you! 👏💙

Their presence in our building goes far beyond safety. They build relationships, offer guidance, share smiles and high-fives, and step in whenever we need them. Whether they’re helping solve problems, supporting students, or just checking in to say hello, they are a valued part of our school family. We are so grateful for the care, dedication, and heart they bring to our community. 💙 If you see Mr. Taulbee or Mr. Bean, be sure to thank them for all they do! 👏
