On Tuesday, 5th grade students and their families participated in an open PBIS class. The class was themed: "Empowering Your Child" and was all about conflict and bullying and how to stand up for yourself in certain situations. Families and students discussed specific scenarios together and answered tough questions on what to do!

Irena demonstrates respectful behavior from the moment she arrives at art class! She listens attentively when another artist is speaking, follows class instructions, and perseveres to make her artwork outstanding! Irena’’s favorite art making material is clay. Her favorite piece of art she has made is the painted pattern of shapes that she made in art class. One day, she would like to create a sugar skull out of clay, just like her brother Miklos!
