Lucy Jessen - Softball - She has been super consistent at the plate! She is working hard to get on base for her team! She has been a wall behind the plate while also gunning people down who try to run on her! We love having Lucy a part of our team!
Congrats, Lions!

It has paid off, Lions!
Heart of the Lion Award: Term 3
Congrats to Holly Kuester, our term 3 recipient of the Heart of the Lion award!
Here is what Mrs. Kuester's students said about her:
"I am nominating Mrs.Kuester because she always makes me feel welcome in her classroom. She is always positive and kind towards everyone. I learn so much in her class while having so much fun.
She is literally AMAZING!!!!! She takes the time to listen to students, is so sweet and kind no matter what she's going through, and is just overall a great teacher who is easy to open up to."
