January Victory Assembly

Submitted by stephanie.galt on

The end of the month brings about the opportunity to celebrate students who are exhibiting greatness in academics and citizenship.  The Student Lighthouse Team and other school leaders do a fantastic job of conducting our monthly assemblies.  We are able to celebrate Top Crocs, and Leaders of the Month.  Each teacher nominates a student to recognize as Leader of the Month, and each grade level nominates a Top Croc.  It is always fun to see the joy on student's faces when their name is read, and then they notice family members in attendance to join us in celebrating them.
