Each month our school focuses on a different character trait to help promote well rounded Lil' Billies. Classroom teachers and our Guidance Counselors target this trait during lessons throughout the month. At the end of each month, one student from each class is selected for demonstrating the character trait and receives a certificate, lunch with the principal, and a book token for our book vending machine. Thanks for supporting this character trait at home as well!


This month Billies will learn Caring

-Consider the needs of others


-Show others you care for them
