Show respect.
Praise each other.
Act safely and responsibly.
Rise to the task.
Kindness always.
Students who display these qualities will earn SPARK bucks that they can use in teacher's classrooms for certain prizes and enter into drawings on Wednesdays at lunch.
We are looking for community support so if you would like to get involved, contact Jamie Barnes, [email protected].
