Every day each staff member is assigned a "go get 'em" student. Some time during the day, the staff member takes a minute to connect with their "go get 'em". They may discuss their favorite activities, share exciting things going on in their classroom, or tell things they are looking forward to at home. It is a quick way for staff members to build relationships with students throughout our entire building. It is a highlight of the day for both the teacher and student. So far this school year, our staff has made over 200 extra personal connections.
Please see the news for 10/7 through 10/11.
