We are excited to announce that the Most Valuable Panther program will be focusing on Gratitude this month!
Our staff will have the opportunity to nominate students who demonstrate behaviors of gratitude throughout the month. If your child is nominated, they will be notified the week of September 25th and receive a free ice cream from PTSA.
