Congratulations to Quenton Greenslate, Benson Summers, and Landry Marsh, they are the R.A.K.E. award winners. They were identified as doing the following;
Quenton Greenslate - When black oil pastel was smeared all over the art room floor, Quenton stopped what he was doing to help clean up the never-ending mess.
Benson Summers - Benson sharpened all of my student's pencils without being asked so they were ready to be used for students. I appreciate that he did this for me.
Landry Marsh - Today she helped a student who was having technical issues with their computer during class. This helped the student better complete the assignment. She was very helpful to her peers and teacher both, by stepping up to take the initiative to fix the issue.




Mark your calendars!


It's already that time of year!
