We will be spotlighting a Student of the Week from each classroom. These students receive a certificate and prize from Mrs. Peery with the chance to be drawn out at the end of each month for a special activity with the Principal. The focus for the month of February is being "Responsible".  The students are selected by their teachers as they see their students show responsibility.  Here are the Students of the Week for February 19.
