The JH and HS students had the first PRIDE assembly right before Thanksgiving break to recognize students who have been meeting the expectations of Bulldog Pride. We plan to hold our second assembly right before winter break. This has been a great opportunity to recognize students for all of the great things they are doing in our school. When students receive a PRIDE ticket from a staff member in the building they can turn it in to a drawing for to be selected to participate in Minute-to-win-it style games, or a drawing for a gift card. We appreciate the generosity from local businesses to help support the acknowledgement program.
