Our Eagle expectations are Be respectful, Be responsible, Do Your Personal Best.
Today I witnessed the following occurring at our school.

+  One of our Kindergartners was showing a new student "the ropes" as he saw it.
This was without being asked but he just stepped in and was doing the responsible thing by welcoming a new friend to our school.

+  A first grader helped another student pick up a backpack that had spilled out on the floor.  Again they did it on their own before the closest adult could help out.  All because it was the right thing to do.

+ A fourth grader was helping a second grader from the bus to breakfast because the younger student hadn't had a positive start to their morning.  Saw the second grader a few hours later and she was all smiles.  Maybe this small kindness helped set her day right.

+  A third grader found three dollars on the floor and brought it to me to turn in.  A few minutes later they were back because they'd heard whose it might be and wanted it checked out.  Turns out it was birthday money for the other student.  Honesty rewarded with a big smile.

Great kids showing what great Eagles they are.  Did they learn these positive attributes at home?  At school?  I'd like to think both played a role as we continue to work in tandem to prepare our students to be college, career and life ready.  A partnership I hope will only strengthen over time.

A reminder......tomorrow night - Thursday 2/29 - at 6pm is a PTO sponsored AirZone night.  Students must wear socks!  Hope to see you there.
