☀️ The school year is off to a great start! 📚✨

Elementary students rotated through PBIS Behavior Expectations Lesson Review Stations, reinforcing the expectations that help make our school a great place to learn! Whether they’re in the classroom, cafeteria, hallway, restroom, playground, gym, or on the bus, our Comets know to "Be Kind, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe!" ⭐️

The first day of school even brought an unexpected science lesson! 🔬🐍 Our 5th grade students spotted a little snake enjoying the sunshine. Apparently, someone forgot to tell him that summer was over! Mr. Snyder took the opportunity for an impromptu science lesson before safely relocating our visitor back to the woods. 🌲☀️
