SEL Theme: Honesty

In February, our PBIS focus is honesty—a core value that helps build trust, strengthen relationships, and create a positive school community. Being honest means telling the truth, taking responsibility for our actions, and doing the right thing even when it’s difficult. Throughout the month, students will participate in lessons and activities that highlight the importance of integrity and ethical decision-making, both in and out of the classroom. By practicing honesty every day, we help make our school a safe, respectful, and supportive place for everyone.

Harper Babb: Kindergarten

Harper has been working extra hard this year and has shown a tremendous amount of growth. We are super-proud! Ms. Hansen & Miss Wolf

Ivy Brandenburg: 1st Grade

Ivy was helping her friend in class with math. Her friend was having a hard time and getting frustrated. Ivy told her, " you can do this, you just need to believe in yourself." " You got this!" – Mrs. Hecker

Evelyn Meacham: 1st Grade

Evelyn has been VERY helpful getting a couple preschooler students off the bus and to their rooms without anyone asking her to do so. She has been a great help! Love, Mrs. Hecker

Julian Johnson: 1st Grade

I am SO very proud of how Julian is learning to persevere through hard tasks. At the beginning of the year, Julian would just give up. Now, with a little reminder, Julian will work through tasks that are hard. I am also very proud of how kind, considerate and empathetic Julian is towards others. He has such a kind heart towards others. – Mrs. Wanke
