Congratulations to our latest Elementary Habit Heroes! Mason was thinking win-win by passing out silverware during breakfast so students wouldn't have to put their tray down to grab it, his actions sped up the breakfast line and got everyone at the tables faster so they wouldn't have to rush to eat this morning! Aubrey used her voice by kindly reminding students to focus while in the bathroom so they could all get back to their class activities!


Through last week and this week, our Elementary students, Pre-K through 2nd, visited local nursing homes and assisted living facilities where they spent time with the elderly and sang Christmas carols. Pre-K went to the Winkler House, Kindergarten went to the Panola Nursing Home, First Grade went to Winkler House, Carthage Healthcare and Briarcliff, and Second Grade went to Winkler House!
