🎉 WELCOME BACK, FAMILIES! 🎉

We are so excited to welcome our students back for another AMAZING school year! 💙💛

This year, we’re kicking off our EVERY DAY COUNTS! 100% ATTENDANCE CHALLENGE! ⭐

📚 Every day matters. Every student matters. Every opportunity to learn counts!

Here’s how it works:
✨ When your child is able to attend school and your class reaches 100% attendance for the day, your class will be entered into the Friday Drawing! 🎟️🎉

We’re encouraging our students to:
🏫 BE HERE.
⏰ BE ON TIME.
🌟 BE READY TO LEARN.

And most importantly, let’s make EVERY DAY A 100% DAY! 🎉

We can’t wait to see our hallways filled with smiling faces, learning, laughter, and lots of school spirit! 💙

We currently have 31 slips in the drawing! 🎉

We also have some classes that are on an amazing streak! ⭐
🏆 1 fourth-grade class has had 100% attendance every day!
🏆 2 fifth-grade classes have had 100% attendance every day!

Keep it up, everyone! Every day counts! 💙💛
