🌟 Good News Call of the Day! 🌟
Today we are celebrating an outstanding 5th grade Tiger from Mr. Flemmer’s class!
This student is someone who could be nominated for a Good News Call every single day! She consistently works hard, treats others with respect, and makes responsible choices - no matter what is happening around her. She leads by example, brings a positive attitude, and almost always has a smile on her face!
In art, she is thoughtful and creative, takes responsible risks with her artwork, and truly thinks like an artist. She is a wonderful example of what it means to be responsible, respectful, and creative while encouraging those around her to shine, too.
We are so proud of the way you continue Growing Your Great Mind and making Explorer a better place! 🌱🧠✨

🌟 GOOD NEWS CALL! 🌟
We are celebrating an awesome learner from 3B! Mr. Silvernail nominated him for being responsible, respectful, kind, and caring. 🐯
When Mr. Silvernail needed a student to step up, mirror his iPad, follow directions, and help support the learning of the entire class, this Tiger jumped at the challenge! He took on the responsibility with confidence and did an amazing job.
We are so proud of his willingness to step up, help others, and challenge himself to GROW! 🌱

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 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!
