Highlighting our Marvelous Students

As a staff, we believe that each of our students contributes in their own way to our learning community. We therefore highlight students in a variety of ways including:

  • Recognizing students who demonstrate the teachings (Seven Sacred Teachings) at Character celebrations throughout the school year
  • Bulletin boards of pictures and student work in the hall
  • Use of TV in hallway to highlight kids’ work/ talents/ interest /participation
  • Daily announcements
  • Birthday pencils
  • French plays
  • Music celebrations
  • Learning Conferences
