Gold Slips
Gold Slips are given to students by staff members for many reasons. October Gold Slips will be given for showing the character trait of Responsibility.  Students can demonstrate this characteristic by being in charge of what they say and do, thinking before they act, accepting the consequences of their actions, being accountable for their own learning, and always doing their best. Students come to the office and put their gold slip in our Treasure Box. Every Friday, Mrs. Bray picks 15 -20 Gold Slips from the Treasure Box and calls those students to the office for a prize. Congratulations - Ava Ridenour, Ayden Kirk, Isaac Diawara, Mariyah Crawford, Joe Booker, Ta'Myah Colvin, Emaleigh Arcand, Clay Patton, Edward Simmons, Hayden Thompson, and Kayden Slone.
