The Monthly Anchor

The Monthly Anchor was created to shine a spotlight on our students, staff and community. Important dates and current information will still be found in our weekly newsletter,

"The Mariner Minute".

We hope you will enjoy sharing these moments with us!

This month's awards are presented in recognition of these student's outstanding display of caring. They have consistently demonstrated kindness, consideration, and a genuine concern for the well-being of others, contributing positively to the classroom community.

Here's what their teachers had to say about each student:

Paige Hansen (KA) - She is so kind to all her classmates. She notices if others are hurt or sad and wants to help them. She is such a caring person!

Nova Vilaysack (KA) - Nova is such a kind person! She is always concerned for others and wants to make sure they are okay. She is so happy and caring!

Ryker Gregory (01) - He is a very caring and kind individual in the classroom. Ryker cares about others and shows them empathy and makes sure they are okay and safe in the classroom. He cares about others feelings and wants to make sure everyone is okay.

Kenzley Sinderman (01) - She is so caring and is willing to help anyone. Kenzley is always there to assist other students and always willing to help the teacher if needed.

Olivia Hansen (02) - Olivia is a great example of what it looks like to be caring because she always checks on people if she thinks something may be wrong, she ensures the teacher is aware if a student needs something or if she notices something needing attention that has not been noticed yet by others, and she offers her help to others daily!

Waylon Johnson (02) - Waylon shows what it looks like to be caring in the classroom everyday! He speaks up for others if they struggle to speak up for themselves, he never says anything unkind to others and validates what people are feeling, and is always willing to help another person out without looking for acknowledgement!
