December has brought some Amazing Golden Paw behaviors! What's a Golden Paw, you ask? The Golden PAW is a special recognition we’ll give each week to one student from each grade who truly shows what it means to follow our school values: Be Prepared, Act Responsibly, Respect Everyone and Everything, and Keep Safe.
