Thanksgiving Break November 25-29, 2024.

I just wanted to give a BIG shout-out 📢 because we’re truly movers and shakers! 🚀 Today, we held our second "I Scream, You Scream" PBIS event, and let me tell you, the excitement was REAL! 🍦✨

Our hard work is paying off in a BIG way! We've leaped from 132 students with perfect attendance in September to 210 in October – that’s incredible! 📈 I’m beyond proud of this jump, and you should be too! One student even mentioned how much he looks forward to collecting his ice cream reward. 🍦💬 It was heartwarming to see them feel so appreciated by this initiative.

I can’t thank you all enough – from those working directly with our students to our miracle workers behind the scenes. You all bring the BOOM to PBIS! 💥🙌 I am so lucky to work with such an AMAZING team. 💖

Check out the attached pics to see all the fun and excitement from today! 📸

Here’s to more awesome achievements together! 🎉

For a limited time, you can receive 20% off by using the code SPIRIT20. Proceeds from this online store will allow us to earn percentages from each sale.
