Our Golden Spoon Luncheon Winners of the Week...
Congratulations to our Golden Spoon luncheon winners for the week ending on 11.15.24! Every week, students who demonstrate expectated behaviors in the lunchroom from Monday to Thursday are invited to a special lunch on the stage and receive a golden spoon as the invitation, for doing the right thing at lunch through the week.
Expected behaviors in the lunchroom:
- Raise a quiet hand to get up or get something
- Keep a low level voice, not yelling
- When a teacher says, "Show 5", students stop talking, focus attention on the teacher, and put a high five in the air to show they are listening to directions
- Sit at the table to eat lunch and have a safe body at the table
These are the expected behaviors that will earn students a golden spoon invitation to a decorated table on the stage on Fridays. A different teacher will sign up to host the luncheon each Friday. We hope all students will attend the Golden Spoon Luncheon!
