Ford Wyatt received a special reward from his teacher, but what happened next melted our hearts.
Instead of keeping it, Ford gifted his prize to a younger student! 🎁 Talk about paying it forward! This sweet moment perfectly shows what kindness and lifting others up is all about.
Our students continue to amaze us with their generous spirits and thoughtful actions.
Ford, you're setting an example that makes our whole school community proud! 😊

Skyler Spivey turned his hard-earned Dojo Points into a heartwarming opportunity to read to his sister's 1st grade class! 🌟
Mrs. Raley caught the magic moments on camera and reported that Skyler absolutely shined as a storyteller!
Such a wonderful way to see our students using their rewards to spread joy and build confidence.
Way to go, Skyler - you're setting an amazing example of leadership and kindness! 💫




Savannah Minton just received our "Caught Being Good" award! 👏
She noticed a classmate sitting alone and took it upon herself to provide some company and friendship.
These small acts of compassion make our school community stronger! 💕 Moments like these remind us how one simple gesture can brighten someone's day completely!
So proud of Savannah for showing that kindness is always the coolest choice! 🥰

There are three ways to ultimate success:
The first way is to be kind.
The second way is to be kind.
The third way is to be kind.
