Gritty Kid of the Week With our school-wide theme of GRIT, we are encouraging students to work hard and keep trying even when things are challenging. The students are really taking hold of the concept and showing great effort! Students are being recognized by their teachers for showing GRIT and are earning mustangs that they deliver to the office and get hung up in the lunchroom. Each week we are recognizing one student who is nominated by teachers and administrators as "The Gritty Kid of the Week". The student is announced during the morning announcements and has their picture hung in the main hallway for the week. Our "Gritty Kid" recognized this week: Mason Roach—5th Grade----Mr. Schilousky Student Council We have only two days left for our Maxey Food Drive. If you don’t have time to go to the store, money is also being collected. Please, donate generously to help those in need. All food and money collected goes directly to the Lincoln Food Bank. Thanks for your help.
