The Beyond Differences Student Service Organization put on a fun NO ONE EATS ALONE event at both A & B Lunch. Our NO ONE EATS ALONE event featured a mixed genre of music and spoken words of Kindness quotes from more than 30 students.  Our event opened to the song “Summer Love” a R&B pops song and remix from the Japanese Anime theme Spirit Away by Miyazaki and new release by Courtney Knott.   Then, a cadre of Beyond Differences club members walked amongst our Cougar students giving them a piece of candy (pencils) and fist pump saying: “You are not alone.”  Cougars read kindness quotes and were recipients of the BD wrist band. Thank you Beyond Differences working together to make the event happen. That’s CrackerJack! It was a great day to be a Cougar! ELPAC testing starts next week!

More good news in January. Our referrals are down... Curiously, our Cougar Credit points given to students are down as well... The kids are responding with better behavior. We just need to keep up the positive praise! If we continue to promote positive behavior (giving points), we can assume that there will be fewer referrals and fewer tardies!! Let’s not leave our students hanging. Looking deeper, there is still more work to be done. Do you see the achievement gap in this data??
