🌟🐯 Good News Call of the Day! 🐯🌟
We are celebrating two fantastic Tigers from 2B today! These learners did an amazing job showing their PAWS expectations in action as they walked through the hallways and made their way through the lunch line.
They were safe, respectful, responsible, and wonderful role models for learners in their class and other grades. Their leadership stood out so much that they received compliments from four different teachers!
That is what it looks like to lead by example and show your Tiger PAWS wherever you go!
Way to go, Tigers! Keep making Explorer proud and Growing Great Minds through your choices each day!

Today we are celebrating this kiddo in 1S for showing our Habits of Mind in such a kind and meaningful way!
When a new student joined the classroom, he went out of his way to help him feel welcomed. He shared his supplies, made a new friend, and helped make the student’s very first day feel special!
These are the moments that make Explorer such a great place to learn, grow, and belong. Way to be a wonderful example of what it means to be a Tiger!

Today we are celebrating this kiddo from 4S for showing what it means to be inclusive and kind!
During lunch, he made an extra effort to make sure everyone had someone to sit with. His simple act of noticing others, welcoming them in, and making sure no one felt left out is exactly the kind of kindness we love to see at Explorer.
Way to go, buddy! You are helping us Grow Great Minds AND Great Hearts!
