PreK-5 Spirit Day on January 12th - Hero Day
On Friday, January 12th, Grade 4 and 5 students and staff will be invited to
dress up like their hero or wear an item of clothing that promotes a positive message such as Be Kind, Kindness Matters, etc… Students will be learning that a hero is someone who is special because of the brave, good, or kind things that they have done.
