Pre-K-2: Ty'Meyah C.

"Ty'Meyah is student who comes to school everyday waiting and wanting to eagerly learn. Ty'Meyah is always being a classroom role model by showing others that she is organized and ready for the lesson by having all her supplies out and ready before she's even told to do so. Ty'Meyah is always caught doing the right thing, helping a friend/classmate when they are sad, turning in her homework assignments on time, and being respectful to her teachers and classmates." - Mrs. Sahina-Hill

3-5: Korri W.

"Korri consistently gives her all to her learning. She completes all assignments without complaint, she's respectful to all of her teachers, and is a role model for her peers. She takes her job as a safety very seriously and makes sure all students are safely making their way through the hallways. In class, Korri is the first one to follow all directions. She is also extremely helpful towards her teachers and other classmates who may be struggling with their classwork." - Mrs. Yerkes

Middle School: Elias W.

"Elias always comes to class prepared and ready to learn. Elias works hard and takes his time when completing assignments and always makes sure his work is completed and submitted. He's done an excellent job making the transition from elementary school to middle school so far." - Mr. Kraft

“Janiyah’Lynn has been a stand out safety patrol member since last school year. She is never afraid to tell any student or staff member how to walk safely down the hall. This school year, she has taken on the responsibility of leading the other safeties in her hall. I hear how she coaches them and shows them the right things to do. Most of the safeties under her guidance now model her exemplary behavior.“

School Safety

As we begin the new school year, it's crucial to recognize the importance of National Preparedness Month. National Preparedness Month aims to raise awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies. Emergencies can occur without warning, and being prepared can make a significant difference in ensuring the safety of our schools and communities. By actively participating in National Preparedness Month, staff and students can help protect their families, friends, and community members while fostering a culture of preparedness. Here are some simple steps everyone can take:

  • Make A Plan: Families may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to create plans that outline how they will contact each other during an emergency.
  • Build a Kit: Assemble emergency kits containing essential supplies like water, non-perishable food, first aid supplies, flashlights, batteries, and important documents. Ensure these kits are easily accessible and periodically updated.
  • Ready Kids: Engage students in age-appropriate preparedness activities. Utilize FEMA’s “Ready Kids” resources to teach children about emergency planning.
  • Pet Preparedness: Pets are important members of families too, so they need to be included when making a plan.
