π Exciting News! π
We just had our first AttenDANCE of the school year, and it was a huge success! π₯³ We celebrated the attendance milestones of our students and had some fun surprises along the way.
β
We had 175 students who were acknowledged for missing one or zero days of school in September, and a big shout-out to the 142 students who had perfect attendance for the entire month! π
These students were entered into a drawing for some amazing prizes, thanks to the generosity of our fantastic sponsors! πβ¨ A special thanks to our local businesses Starved Rock Storage, Culvers, Bernabei, Balestri & Fiocchi Law Firm, Barb Bryant of Janko Realty, and Financial Plus Credit Union for supporting our mission to make EVERY DAY COUNT!
Thank you all for supporting our students! Letβs keep it up for the rest of the school year! The next AttenDANCE is scheduled for Friday, November 1st!
