December's challenge was to reach 96% again, but this time it was the goal for individual homerooms. Those classes will receive hot chocolate next week: Mrs. Butler, Mrs. Schutzbach, and Ms. Shonkwiler
January's challenge is per grade- grades that reach 96% will receive ice cream sandwiches at lunch!
Remember: Students are more than welcome to be at school as long as they are fever/diarrhea/vomiting free for 24 hours without medicine!
