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 January is being an "Upstander".  The students are selected by their teachers as they see their students stand up for others.  Here are the Students of the Week for January 22.
