Look at those smiles! 😄 As part of our school-wide initiative to encourage positive behavior, many students turned in their Gallop Tickets and earned an extra recess with school administration. Last week these excellent students enjoyed basketball, slides, hula-hoops, and more while spending fun time with Dr. Denhalter (Principal), Mrs. Petersen (Administrative Intern), and Officer Scott (School Resource Officer). 🏀🛝Well done, students, for modeling great choices—keep up the awesome behavior! Be Safe! Be Kind! Be Reliable!

When Mustangs gallop, they gallop with greatness!
