" FAME booster week is a fantastic time for our children toget a fresh start on the reminders of how to be an excellentstudent. We discuss the focus area needing to be polished forthe remainder of the year, focus on respect- stepping up to theplate with manners, greetings and keeping hands feet andobjects to self are a few of the items." Students were recognized with red stars for this specificobjective! We have LOTS of students doing what is asked!Look at the amount of red stars handed out to the students infive days! We certainly change behaviors and set the bar highfor a positive climate in this school.

Our children then performed grade level productions at theMarch Pride Day Assembly to share what was learned!
