Good News Call - Josie Ibarra

1/3/2020 Good News call was on behalf of Josie Ibarra, an eighth grader.

As students were leaving the cafeteria for recess today, some student had left behind their tray on the table without taking it over to the kitchen.  When Mr. Parks noticed the tray and started asking students to whom it belonged, Josie cheerfully volunteered to take it over and do the job.

We so appreciate Josie going the extra mile.  She said it wasn't a big deal, but it is because those little acts of service is what makes things work.  Way to go!

Good News Call - Lizzie Ward

1/2/20 -The first Good News Call of 2020 is on behalf of Lizzie Ward, a sixth grader.  Mrs. Wiedmeyer, her Science and Social Studies teacher writes:

Lizzie Ward has taken it upon herself to help a student without being asked.  This student struggles to stay on task, is often a distraction in class and has bothered Lizzie in the past.  [As a result], she was not so pleased to be assigned his partner in a group project, but ever since she has taken to helping him understand his work and has patiently helped him as he dictates his understanding to her.

Lizzie is not giving him answers, she is supporting him and helping scaffold his learning.  Wow!  What a positive atmosphere this helps to create.

We sure appreciate Lizzy taking it upon herself to go the extra mile and building bridges.  Way to go!
