Students who reached their positive behavior goal for the month of December were celebrated today. They enjoyed an afternoon of making a marshmallow snowman and playing snowman bingo. Of course, the best part was getting to eat their yummy snowman and spending time with their friends! ⛄️
We are so proud of all of our students for meeting their positive behavior goal! We hope to have even more students celebrate their January goal.
