Dear Poplar Tree Families,
Last week we launched our PAWesome Hallway Behavior and PAWsitive Praise tickets. Just like last year, classes/groups of students can earn a PAWesome Hallway Behavior ticket for following our schoolwide hallway expectations. Students can earn a PAWsitive Praise ticket for demonstrating a Portrait of a Graduate (POG) Ethical and Global Citizen attribute. Each Monday on the Good Morning Poplar Tree news show we feature a student from each house who has received a Pawsitive Praise! The colored house with the most Hallway Behavior tickets by October 25 will get to participate in a "Monster Mash!"
Tonight is the Chantilly High School homecoming game! We hope to see many of our families at the parade and game!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sue Andujar, Principal
Amy Alley, Assistant Principal
