My Project

Completing team building activities and making sure that students have fun and love coming to school, is so important! I am implementing a new family house system this year with spirit rallies. I want to give my students and staff fun and interesting team building opportunities. We want to do a blow up animal race, air guitar competitions, and want to give students buttons to help build our school culture! Infusing positivity into our halls on a daily basis is so important and this project will help me go above and beyond to support our school community with positivity! The majority of our students come from a low SES level and because of this, it's so important to make sure that our elementary school is a positive place to be!
