October Minne Scoop!
A Note from Principal Johnson
Hello Minnehaha Agate families!
Can you believe we are heading into October? The weather has been incredible.
Guess who else is incredible? THE STUDENTS AT MINNEHAHA!
Their benchmark scores are great! They are working and learning !
I want to take a moment to explain our new recognition system for students who are being RESPONSIBLE, RESPECTFUL, AND SAFE. Students earn coins when they are displaying those expectations.
We are using plastic coins with “Caught you being good” on them.
Each student turns in the coin to the teacher. Once the class earns 50 coins, they earn a Super Agate and have a small celebration.
Our schoolwide goal for the months of September and October is for the school to get 35 SUPER AGATES and we will have a fall carnival on October 30th.
Right now the school has 21 Super Agates !!!!
WAY TO GO AGATES!
If you are interested in volunteering for the carnival please let me know. You can email me at sjohnson@isd381.org or call the school and let Colleen know or leave me a message.
Thank you again for partnering with us to educate your children,
Mrs. Johnson
