My Project

All student lions have opportunities each day to earn paws for exemplifying our school values: perseverance, responsibility, integrity, discovery, and empowerment. Each Friday, Leo the Lion, our school mascot, visits and two lions from each classroom are highlighted for showing our values throughout the week. The highlighted lions take a picture with Leo and select a small prize.

Lions work extremely hard to meet Leo and are so excited when they are able to get their picture taken with him!

Please help us refresh our supply of prizes and give Leo an updated look to meet his lions in!
