HOME 6TH GRADE BASKETBALL TONIGHT @ 530 PM
Our Manor teachers submit star students each month that exemplify the Will of a Wildcat (Cooperative, Always Responsible, Treating others with Respect, and Safety).
Congrats to our nominees for the month of January!!
Erin Sale: Erin goes above and beyond in the classroom. She helps clean the room, has given students help with their work, and is an overall leader. She is a model for every student!
Alex Olivares: He has been asking to help around the classroom lately and has been doing much better on his academics. He's trying harder on assignments and asking for help when needed. He is also always so kind to everyone!
Rylie DeArcos: Rylie always enters the room with a smile and is encouraging to others in the classroom. Her positive attitude is a wonderful part of our classroom.
Noah Mordhorst: Noah always brings a smile and positive energy into our classroom. He is quick to join in class discussions and takes pride in doing his schoolwork well.
Triston Crowder: Triston tells Mr. Poole and I "Good Morning" everyday coming in from the bus. He is also very polite and respectful in the library and computers.
Alex Linneman: Alex recognised an issue in his friend group at lunch, and initiated a conversation with adults that led his group to make a few minor changes that would support everyone getting along. I admire Alex for stepping up and helping his friends get along.
Reminder-tomorrow, Thursday February 16th is Spring Picture Day! All Hensey students will be getting their photo taken.
