🍦🐯 Have you heard about our SWEET Attendance Challenge? 🐯🍦
Our PTO has come up with something extra sweet to encourage our Tigers to show up every day! 💛🖤
🍦 Each class has its own ice cream cone displayed in our main hallway.
📅 Every Friday, we’ll calculate each class’s weekly attendance:
⭐ 97% attendance = 1 scoop
🌟 100% attendance = 2 scoops!
🎉 Once a class collects 10 scoops, they’ll earn an ICE CREAM PARTY! 🍨🥳
Families, you can help your child’s class fill their cone! Make every day count by getting your Tiger to school, on time, every day! 🐯
Who will be the first class to reach 10 scoops? 👀🍦
