🎉 Congratulations to our Friday 5 winners! 🎉
These Young Jayhawks have been excelling at following school expectations and leading by example.
📌 What is Friday 5?
Friday 5 is a special recognition for our Young 5, Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders. When students are caught exceeding expectations, they can earn a Friday 5 ticket, which is then entered into a drawing held every other week.
Next week, our S.O.A.R. Shop opens for 3rd–5th grade, let’s keep soaring, Jayhawks! 🦅✨
