🌟 Tiger Highlight: Demonstrating Courage at Lucy Wortham James Elementary School! 🌟
In March, LWJE showcased acts of courage as our students displayed bravery in various situations. March's Word of the Month was COURAGE!
Throughout each month, students across all grade levels will participate in engaging classroom challenges that encourage them to embody the “Word of the Month” in their daily lives. At the end of the month, each classroom teacher will select a student who has truly embraced the spirit of the word. These students will be recognized as "Students of the Month.”
Let's applaud the courageous deeds of our LWJE Students of the Month for March! 👏 #Courage #stjschools #tigerpride
