Lancer PRIDE Expectations
This year our focus’ for Lancer Pride are to be Thoughtful, Empowered, and Connected. Our main focus for the month of April is showing these characteristics in the commons area/lunchroom. We are Thoughtful and show pride for our school building by keeping it clean and undamaged. We are Empowered when we move quickly in the halls to the appropriate destination after our designated lunch period is over. We are Connected when we speak appropriately about and with my peers, as well as help others in need.
We have seen a significant improvment with the way students are taking care of the Commons are. Students have made a great effort at cleaning up after themselves, as well as after each other. Keep it up Lancers!
