SPIRIT WORD
Perseverance is when you keep trying, even if something feels tricky or you don’t get it right the first time.
Like when you’re learning to tie your shoes, ride a bike, or draw a picture, you keep practicing and trying again. That’s perseverance!

CAUGHT CHA AWARDS
The "Caught Ya" awards are a way to recognize and celebrate students who embody the qualities of the school's spirit word, such as kindness, perseverance, or responsibility. When students demonstrate these positive traits in their actions and interactions, they are "caught" displaying the spirit word's values and recognized in Friday assembly. This encourages a positive and supportive school culture by highlighting and rewarding the behaviors that reflect the school's core values.
